Paulinho Tottenham medical signals the end for Scott Parker
PAULINHO is undergoing a medical at Tottenham today as he prepares to sign.
The midfielder, if all being well, will conclude a £17m move from Corinthians to north London.
The 24-year-old impressed during his country's Confederations Cup triumph and is seen by Andre Villas Boas as the key to their summer recruitment drive.
And the Brazilian, who will join up with compatriot Sandro, will become Tottenham's first signing of the summer.
His arrival is likely to signal the end of Scott Parker's Tottenham career, with QPR already making their interest known.
Villas-Boas has told the England international that he cannot guarantee him first-team football and is free to leave.
A fee of £2m is wanted for 32-year-old and any move away will bring to an end a two-year stay at the club.
