Paulinho staying at Guangzhou Evergrande after porn star indiscretions

The former Tottenham Hotspur man landed himself in hot water with his club last week and has been linked with a return to European football

Guangzhou Evergrande have denied reports that Paulinho will be leaving the club, despite recently promoting a betting company with a Japanese porn actress.

The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has been subject to reported interest from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, despite only signing a new deal in January 2017 with the six-time Chinese Super League champions.

The club, however, have dismissed reports of the Brazilian leaving the club after Paulinho was warned by the Chinese Football Association (CFA) earlier this month for starring in adverts alongside a Japanese porn star.
