Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Paulinho is pleased with his performances in his first season in the Premier League, but admits that adapting to a different league and country was a challenge for him.
Paulinho joined Tottenham from Brazilian outfit Corinthians last summer for a fee of £17m, a club-record transfer fee at the time.
Paulinho has so far scored seven goals for Tottenham this season and is happy with his performance so far in this campaign.
“It’s my first season in the Premier League, I've played a lot of games and yes, I’m happy with seven goals”, the 25-year-old told the club’s official site.
