Former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho has boldly claimed Spanish giants Barcelona are hoping to sign him this summer.
The Brazilian had an ill-fated spell in the Premier League with Tottenham, but largely failed to impress during his time in English football.
Since, Paulinho became one of a cluster of Brazilians to make the switch to the Chinese Super League to and has been impressing with Guangzhou Evergrande.
The 28-year-old has enjoyed such a revival that he now claims Catalan giants Barca are calling.
