Tottenham Move to Beat Man United to Mateus Fernandes Signing
West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes is reportedly attracting significant transfer interest ahead of a potential summer move.
The 21-year-old is expected to leave the club following their relegation from the Premier League, with multiple top sides monitoring his situation.
Manchester United are currently considered the leading contenders for his signature, although Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also understood to be interested in the Portugal international.
According to The Athletic, Tottenham have now entered the race as they look to strengthen their squad as part of Roberto De Zerbi’s rebuild project.
Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly the driving force behind the move, with West Ham setting an asking price of £80 million for Fernandes.
Tottenham are also said to be interested in Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, although Manchester City’s interest in the Italian international could complicate any potential deal.
The competition for midfield reinforcements is expected to intensify as several top clubs weigh up their summer transfer options.
