Tottenham midfielder Paulinho officially join Guangzhou
The Tottenham midfielder Paulinho has joined Guangzhou Evergrande on a
four-year deal, the Chinese Super League side have announced.
The 26-year-old, who moved to Spurs from Corinthians in his native Brazil in 2013, has made the switch to Guangzhou for a transfer fee of £9.9million (€14m).
A statement on Guangzhou’s website said: “Guangzhou Hengda Football Club officially announce from Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur that midfielder, Brazilian player Paulinho, was formally signed, for the transfer fee of 14 million euros, for four years.”
Paulinho has 32 caps for Brazil and has scored five goals for the Seleção. He will link up with the former Brazil manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, at the Chinese club after the ex-Chelsea manager took over the reins earlier this month on a two-and-a-half year deal.
There is a distinct South American flavour at Evergrande, as the Brazil international Ricardo Goulart and his countrymen Elkeson and Alan also play for the Super League side.
Guangzhou are currently third in the league standings, two points behind the leaders Beijing Guoan as they go in search of their fifth successive Super League title
