Palhinha wants to stay at Tottenham
Joao Palhinha has reiterated his desire to stay at Tottenham.
Palhinha was Spurs hero in their final-day relegation decider at home to Everton on Sunday with his 43rd-minute effort enough to secure a 1-0 win and clinch Premier League survival.
The all-action midfielder also struck the only goal in a vital victory at Wolves last month and Palhinha confessed he would love Tottenham to turn his loan from Bayern Munich into a permanent move.
Palhinha said: I always shared my thoughts. Since the first day I arrived, I feel at home. From the supporters, the crowd. Top club.
Who doesnt want to play for Tottenham and stay here? I have everything here, but this is like a marriage.
What I can say to you is I would really like to be here and I enjoy it a lot this season with this club even being a tough season.
Roberto De Zerbis arrival at the end of March proved crucial for Tottenham and Palhinha, who quickly established himself as a key figure under the Italian with telling contributions against Wolves, Aston Villa and lastly Everton.
De Zerbi again insisted he would 100 per cent want to keep Palhinha at the club on Sunday and Tottenhams option to buy the 31-year-old is 30 million euros (25.8m), Press Association understands.
I think the next season will hopefully be really different and I truly believe (it will), Palhinha insisted.
I think this season will help Tottenham for the future. Analyse the season, what we did wrong, what we did well and I think its a big improvement and a big relief after the season.

Benfica make Fulham's Silva top target
Latest from Your Site News' Vik Varange, Lyall Thomas, James Cole and Gary Cotterill:
Benficas top target for a new head coach is understood to be Marco Silva.
Nothing has been decided or agreed yet - but the Portuguese club really want him.
They are poised for talks if he decides to leave Fulham, and once Jose Mourinho's move to Real Madrid is ratified.
Mourinho is ready to be appointed at the Bernabeu but the spectre of a presidential election at the club may delay the move.
Meanwhile, Silva is expected to hold discussions with Fulham about his future this week, with his contract expiring next month.
On Sunday, Silva did not rule out staying but said he had not yet decided, and discussions would need to take place.
Fulham have offered him a new lucrative contract to stay at the helm which has been on the table for some time.
Silva steered them to an 11th-place finish following a final day win over Newcastle.
Your Site News reported last week that they would target either Silva or Ruben Amorim to replace Mourinho.
Alisson set to stay at Liverpool
Your Site News' Vinny O'Connor:
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is subject of interest from Juventus, is expected to remain a Liverpool player next season.
Your Site News revealed earlier this month that Juventus are looking to make the Brazil international their top summer transfer target.
Ibrahima Konate's future is still to be sorted out. He is yet to sign a new contract. An extension was said to be close a few weeks ago but nothing has emerged since then.
Remember that Jeremy Jacquet will become a Liverpool player this summer from Rennes - just before he turns 21 - in a 60m deal. He is the second-most expensive defender to join Liverpool.
But Jacquet himself has missed the back end of the season with a shoulder injury. Liverpool also have Geovanni Leoni to come back from his ACL injury.
Virgil van Dijk is still at Liverpool, as is Joe Gomez - who has just a year left on his contract. So there could be movement in that centre-back role.
Cover at left back may be needed with Andy Robertson saying his goodbyes - although they also have Kostas Tsimikas returning from his loan spell.
Slot set to get new coaching staff member
Your Site News' Vinny O'Connor:

It is another boost for the Dutchman, who is expected to remain at Liverpool this summer.
Reijnen was Slot's assistant at Feyenoord. Slot wanted to bring his fellow Dutchman with him to Liverpool in 2024 but the club could not get a work permit.

The searchfor a new head coach is underway", the MLS club say in a statement.

To my staff, thank you for your incredible loyalty and hard work. And to the most incredible bunch of players: thank you for the effort, the good times, the good results, the bad results, and all the laughs we shared together.
I realize we are in a results business, and the results haven't been to the expectation of this football club.
To the Timbers Army you are the reason I felt inspired to try and bring success to this club. Keep getting behind the players and the club in this wonderful city. I will miss you all."
