Paulinho targets Tottenham Hotspur success

Tottenham Hotspur's latest recruit Paulinho has expressed his determination to help the club be successful.

The Brazilian international finalised his switch to White Hart Lane earlier today from Corinthians in a deal thought to be worth around £17m.

Having signed on the dotted line, the 24-year-old has now turned his attention to helping his new teammates to win trophies.

"First, I want to thank Tottenham for believing in me," he told the club's official website. "I am very happy and excited to have joined Spurs.

"It's a huge pleasure for my career to be at a club as big as Tottenham. I know it will be a huge challenge but I think I can help all my colleagues to succeed and give a lot of happiness to the supporters."

Paulinho has earned 17 caps for the Brazilian national team.
