Former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho has joined Barcelona for a fee of €40million (£36.5m).

The Brazilian, who has been with Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande since 2015, has been a target for the Nou Camp club for much of the summer and has now completed his move.

Barca opened with an offer of £17million in July but have since significantly increased their offer for the 29-year-old to complete the deal.
