Joao Palhinha became the hero in a survival battle that lasted over 100 minutes. The goal against Everton in the 1-0 win in the last league game pushed West Ham below the relegation zone, with Tottenham balancing on the line. The Portuguese is on loan from Bayern Munich, who cashed in the domestic double with league and cup titles, but it is from the bottom of the Premier League that Palhinha now wants to work on.
Palhinha is linked to Sporting, but if you ask the Portuguese, it is Tottenham who counts.

-Since day one, I have felt at home. It’s a top club. Who wouldn’t want to play for Tottenham and stay here? I have everything here. It’s like a marriage. I really want to be here, and I’m enjoying it, even though this season has been difficult,” Joao Palhinha said, according to The Athletic.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi also expressed after the win over Everton that he envisions Joao Palhinha continuing at the club.
