"West Ham United” center midfielder – on his way to another London club.

"The Athletic” journalist David Ornstein reports that Mateus Fernandes will move to "Tottenham” for £85 million.

"Tottenham” beat "Manchester United” in the race for the young Portuguese's signature, who ultimately did not agree to pay such a large sum. Their attention will now turn elsewhere.

A year ago, "West Ham” acquired this talent from "Southampton” for more than £40 million.

In the last season, M. Fernandes scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists.
