- Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha has had an incredible season in the Premier League
- The Portuguese has been one of the best in his position starting all 24 of Fulham’s Premier League matches
- England’s top clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are all interested in the midfielder
England’s top clubs are reportedly looking into what it would take to entice Joao Palhinha away from Fulham at the conclusion of the season.
Palhinha, 27, is in his first Premier League season after joining from Sporting CP in a £17 million deal in July, and he has quickly established himself in Marco Silva’s first squad.
All 24 of his league appearances this season have come as a starter, and his three goals for the surprisingly competent Cottagers equal his best return for a league season.
He has made the most tackles this season of any midfielder in Europe’s top five leagues, and that is where he really excels. He has been a key factor in his team’s ascent from Championship champions to a top-half Premier League team.

Joao Palhinha is reportedly attracting attention from a number of teams, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Tottenham, according to The Sun.
According to the report, Palhinha’s outstanding first season in England and the four years left on his contract are thought to have increased his transfer worth to over £40 million.
Liverpool are said to be “the most serious suitor,” according to the Daily Mail, which also speculates that his worth could top £60 million.
