Roberto De Zerbi wants to sign Joao Palhinha on a permanent transfer this summer after his final-day heroics helped Tottenham to stay in the Premier League.

The Portuguese midfielder scored the only goal of the game as Spurs defeated Everton 1-0 at home on Sunday to avoid a disastrous first relegation from the top-flight since 1977.
