Brazilian Paulinho who has failed to deliver for Tottenham since his move from Corinthians last summer is said to be on his way to Chelsea after only a season.


Paulinho fee £28.76 million

He has been a big disappointment for Spurs turning in a number of half hearted  and sub standard performances. All started out well as he looked to impress but once Charlie Adams had injured another Tottenham player we haven't seen the player we have signed since.

For Brazil he is composed in front of goal but for Spurs he consistently fluffs his lines, once again bearing down on goal against Stoke City late in the game he could only weakly shoot at the keeper.

Lancelet the Brazilian news outlet who revealed his move to Tottenham and who revealed his summer move to Chelsea now say the fee is £28.76 million, an £11.76 million profit for one mediocre season. The deal they claim will be announced after the World Cup in his home country and has been brokered by Giuliano Bertolucci the same man who has brokered the signing of the other Brazilians at Chelsea.

Paulinho has not really produced anything that Lewis Holtby could not produce and with Tottenham having an abundance of midfielders, getting rid of one who is to lazy to learn English very well would be good business, especially at such a handsome profit.
