Tottenham beats Manchester United and signs Mateus Fernandes for £85 million
Tottenham Hotspur have secured the signing of West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes for £85 million, beating Manchester United and other clubs. This move is an important step for Spurs, who are looking to strengthen their squad after recent difficulties.
Tottenham Hotspur confirmed the signing of midfielder Mateus Fernandes, from West Ham, for £85 million, standing out in the current transfer window. According to information from The Athletic, Spurs won the dispute for the athlete, who was also in Manchester United's sights, but who were unable to meet West Ham's financial requests or the player's salary demands.
With the signing of Fernandes, who was one of West Ham's highlights last season, Tottenham is making a significant move despite not having secured a place in the Champions League and facing difficulties in the English Championship. The 21-year-old, who has scored three goals and provided four assists in 36 league appearances, joins the squad as the fourth signing of the summer, following deals already made with Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi as free agents, as well as ongoing negotiations for Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million.
Despite Fernandes' signing, Tottenham are unlikely to slow down in their search for reinforcements and remain interested in Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, having previously seen a £75m bid rejected.
