Paulinho joins Spurs

 PAULINHO broke down in tears after agreeing his £17million move to Tottenham.

The Brazil ace yesterday completed a switch from Corinthians.

Yet he sobbed: “It’s hard to talk about a moment like this. But it has been three wonderful years in my career.

“They made the offer to my manager and to Corinthians. I analysed it and chose Tottenham.

“We thought it was the best way, the best choice.

“I’m going from one great club to another, which is Tottenham, that plays in a great league. I’m sure that I will do my best. I have no regrets and I will not regret it.”

Midfielder Paulinho, 24, sealed the deal after meeting boss Andre Villas-Boas and passing a medical.

He has been welcomed by countryman Sandro.

The anchorman said: “Whatever Paulinho needs, I’ll be here to help.

“He will help us become stronger, I’m sure of that.”
