Tottenham confirms deal for Paulinho

According to Fox Sports, Tottenham have confirmed a £17m deal to sign 24 year-old Brazil international midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians. The Brazilian held a press conference on Monday, a day after lifting the Confederations Cup with his country, to confirm his departure from the Sao Paulo club.

"It's hard to say anything at a moment like this, but I am sure those were three wonderful years in my career, with many titles and working with the right people, who always helped me," Paulinho, 24, told reporters. "What I have to say to Corinthians is 'see you soon'. Pretty soon I'll be back, owing to everything you have done for me."

Paulinho scored 34 goals in 167 appearances for Sao Paulo and was also instrumental in Brazil's 3-0 victory over Spain yesterday in the final of the Confederations Cup. Spurs offered no comment when contacted on Monday night.
