Joao Palhinha says he feels "at home" at Tottenham and wants to stay at the club.

Palhinha joined Spurs in a season-long loan from Bayern Munich in August 2025 and turned out to be their hero on the final day of the Premier League.

His goal secured a 1-0 win over Everton, ensuring Tottenham's place in the top-flight after they matched West Ham's result.

Palhinha won his team five points via goals scored in the Premier League this season; it was the joint-most by any player for Tottenham (also five for Richarlison).

"I always shared my thoughts. Since the first day I arrived, I feel at home. From the supporters, the crowd. Top club," he said.

"Who doesn't want to play for Tottenham and stay here? I have everything here, but this is like a marriage.

"What I can say to you is I would really like to be here, and I enjoy it a lot this season with this club, even being a tough season."

Tottenham have the option to make Palhinha's transfer permanent, with reports suggesting he could move to north London in a deal worth £25.9m (€30m).

Palhinha made 45 appearances for Spurs in all competitions in 2025-26, the joint-second most of any player, with 30 of those coming from the start.

He netted seven goals overall, a tally only bettered by Richarlison (12), while also getting one assist.
