The 26 year old returned to White Hart Lane after the World Cup finals to find himself seemingly not part of new boss Mauricio Pochettino’s plans and is said to be the subject of interest from both Inter Milan and his former club Cortinthians.
The Brazilian international had a decent first season at the north London outfit but has barely had a look-in since Pochettino’s arrival and must surely be considering leaving before he stagnates at Spurs.
Paulinho hasn’t started a single Premier League fixture with Pochettino electing to use Etienne Capoue, Nabil Bentaleb and Ryan Mason as his regular midfield options.
Hertha Berlin may be a tad optimistic in their approach for Paulinho given they are currently sitting in the bottom half of the German top tier though an official offer could perhaps lead to renewed interest in the Spurs man and a move away may well be on the cards either in January or next summer.
