Midfielder

Could 'The Magician' be the defensive midfield shield Spurs have long been crying out for?

Steve Bruce likes Wilson Palacios. He first took the Honduran international to Birmingham City in summer 2007 on a six-month loan after a recommendation from Arsene Wenger (Palacios had had a trial at Arsenal). By January, Bruce was at Wigan and when Blues failed to take up the option to sign him permanently, Bruce gave him a three-and-a-half year deal at Wigan.

An exciting and versatile attacking midfielder who mainly featured down the left for the Latics, Palacios – known at his old club Olimpia as ‘the Magician’ for his ability to conjure openings out of nothing – can operate anywhere across the middle or ‘in the hole’ behind a front man.

His continued impressive performances saw him linked with moves to Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham, and it was the Londoners who won out - with Palacios sealing a £12 million move to White Hart Lane in January 2009, making his debut at Bolton at the end of that month.

great player who has shown glimeses of magic, don't forget his younger brother is being held for ransom which will obviously be affecting his performances

watching him dominate the midfield against arsenal almost made up for only drawing against them

He isn't as good as the media are making out, Lee Cattermole was far better in our midfield until he left. He might be found out at Spurs, I really hope he doesn't because he's a really nice bloke.
