Tottenham Hotspur is a strong contender for the Bundesliga ace

Famous journalist Fabrizio Romano recently published an article on the X platform saying that Tottenham Hotspur is a strong contender for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Parhinha. It is said that Tottenham Hotspur is considering bringing the Portuguese talent to North London this summer.

Parhinha’s outstanding performance in German football

The 30-year-old player has attracted attention for Bayern Munich many times last season. However, due to injuries, he missed many of the team’s games. The Portuguese star played 25 games in all competitions for Bayern Munich last season.

Parhinha contributed 20 tackles, 13 blockades and 4 interceptions in the Bundesliga, and is a core midfielder with a convincing performance. His pass success rate in the Bundesliga is as high as 92.4% (data from fbref.com), and his distribution in the midfield is equally accurate.

Parhinha’s current contract with Bayern Munich will expire in the summer of 2028. Therefore, it will be difficult for Spurs to sign him at a low price this offseason.

Is Parhinha a good option for Spurs manager Thomas Frank?

Parhinha is an excellent interceptor who can make some important interceptions for the team in the midfield. He does not mind passing the ball with his feet when needed and his passing is smooth. Parhinha can even use his strong 1.90 meters frame to suppress opponents in the air.

However, the Portuguese star needs to add some goals and assists. He is very familiar with the Premier League during his time at Fulham and it won’t take too much time to adapt to life at Spurs.

We can expect Parhinha to add more strength and toughness to Thomas Frank’s midfield. He is strong enough to compete for a regular first-team spot for the North London club next season.

Parhinha is already 30 years old and he still has several seasons to perform at his best. Therefore, he will be a player worth considering for Spurs in the short term. He has enough experience and skills to become a valuable asset to Spurs in the next few years. Therefore, Frank should consider going all out to recruit Parhinha before the summer transfer window closes.
