Paulinho In Serious Trouble, Faces Deportation From China

Spurs old boy Paulinho has been doing the rounds recently following the midfielder being linked with a move to Bayern Munich, but he's now subject to another shocking story.

And it involves a Japanese porn star.

A respectable debut season in the Premier League was followed by a miserable term which prompted the Brazilian's sale to China.

Paulinho is now doing wonders for Guangzhou Evergrande having won six trophies, including the coveted Asian Champions League in 2015 since linking up with them.

And while Bayern Munich are reportedly lining up an offer, it could be accelerated if Paulinho gets deported.

The 28-year-old could potentially face deportation from China after posing with Tsukasa Aoi - a renown Japanese porn star.

The problem being that porn is illegal in China. To compound misery, he was promoting a gambling firm, which - you guessed it - is also illegal.

So, not one but TWO offences caused by Paulinho hence why he's in a spot of legal bother.

Whether he'll actually get deported is anyone's guess, at the moment, though it appears Paulinho will likely get a severe grilling from the Chinese Super League side.

But time will tell.

Meanwhile, here's Aoi - the women pictured with Paulinho.
