Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed a deal to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes for a club record transfer fee of €98.6 million. According to Sky Sports, Spurs have reached an agreement with their cross-city counterparts to sign the 21-year-old talent when the summer transfer window opens. Such a fee would comfortably surpass Tottenham’s previous transfer record, which was the €65m paid for RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons last summer. The fee will be the second-highest transfer fee West Ham have received for one of their players, coming in behind the €116.6m Arsenal paid for Declan Rice in 2023.

Tottenham’s reported ability to secure the signature of Fernandes will be celebrated by fans of the North London club, with the midfielder being heavily linked wth moves to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks. The move will also be the latest sign of Tottenham’s aggressive transfer policy this summer, with the club having already spent €60m to sign Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, as well as Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers.

Fernandes made the move to West Ham less than 12 months ago, when the Hammers paid Southampton €44m for his signature ahead of last season. The Portuguese talent wasted little time establishing himself as one of West Ham’s most important players, and while the club were unable to avoid relegation, Fernandes showcased his evident ability to thrive in the Premier League. As such, the player’s market value has shot up from €8m to €50m in the space of two years. Should Tottenham sign Fernandes for €98.6m, it’ll take the total transfer fees paid for the midfielder over the course of his career to €157.6m, making him the third most expensive Portuguese player of all time in terms of cumulative transfer fees.

Manchester United have stepped up their bid to sign Mateus Fernandes signature in what could prove to be one of the longest sagas of the summer transfer window. The 21-year-old, currently on international duty with Portugal at the World Cup, is the subject of a tug-of-war between several clubs across Europe, although a Premier League stay looks the most likely option.

It had previously been reported that Spurs were favourites to land Fernandes. However, the north London side are also pursuing Newcastle midfelder Sandro Tonali, and that has allowed United to haul themselves back into the running. Per Sky Sports Germany, United remain in talks with the player as they attempt to convince him to snub a move across London for Old Trafford.

Interest from Real Madrid, who recently appointed Jose Mourinho, appears to have cooled as they focus their efforts elsewhere. Chelsea and Arsenal have also been credited with an interest, but United and Spurs are ready to pay €90 million to West Ham to win the race - giving the young midfielder a tough decision to make on his future.

His rapid rise has been documented in his meteoric market value increase over the past two years. Starting out at Sporting Lisbon's B team in 2022 with a market value of €500,000, he sealed a move to Estoril Praia in 2024 and began to impress in the Primeira Liga, rising to €8 million. Since June 2024, his market value has shot to €50 million and he could be set for another increase in October's update if he moves club.

Huge interest despite relegation trend

It's all the more curious considering his time in England has been shrouded in disappointment. While it would be unfair to pin it entirely on Fernandes, the truth is that he's now been involved in back-to-back relegations with Southampton and West Ham.

In the 2024/25 season, he contributed two goals and four assists, with eight yellow cards. After his move to West Ham, fans might've expected a little more - and that's exactly what they got: three goals and four assists in 34 appearances, in addition to six yellow cards.

Given his role as a box-to-box midfielder - commonly known as a 'No.8' - those numbers don't exactly set the world alight. But where Fernandes adds value is almost disguised and only really discernible when watching him in action. He'll often be the man to bring the ball from deep and progress the ball up the pitch.

It's an understated quality and a thankless task, but it's crucial when playing against low blocks. It's something his namesake Enzo Fernandez does for Chelsea, demanding the ball in deep positions, spraying it left or right, or even through the lines.

Carrick & De Zerbi roles to fill

Michael Carrick was never the most glamorous central midfielder in his playing days at Old Trafford. A lot of the work he did went unnoticed or unheralded, so perhaps he recognises that quality in Fernandes and how his all-round game will add something that's been missing from United's midfield. With Ederson arriving from Atalanta after the World Cup, he already has a genuine all-action operator. Fernandes can provide some finesse and composure on the ball to allow Bruno Fernandes to concentrate his efforts in the final third as their primary playmaker.

Tottenham are clearly looking for a dictator of their own. Roberto De Zerbi has wasted no time in trying to get one in, having bids for Sandro Tonali turned down in addition to their interest in Fernandes. They have an energetic presser in Conor Gallagher, a playmaker in James Maddison, but not a genuine ball-carrier who will bring his team further up the pitch.

The squabble for Fernandes may not be over yet. While Spurs are reported to have agreed personal terms with the Portuguese midfielder, there is no denying the pull of playing for Manchester United is significant. United are also playing in the Champions League next season, while Spurs aren't and only just survived relegation themselves with back-to-back 17th-place finishes. If Carrick is keen to get his man, United may have the financial and sporting advantage to convince Fernandes to snub Spurs at the eleventh hour. But the clock is ticking.

Lucas Bergvall has informed Tottenham Hotspur of his desire to leave the club on a permanent deal this summer, which has alerted a host of top European clubs. Bergvall arrived in North London from Djurgarden in 2024 with the reputation as one of the best teenage talents in Europe, who possessed the potential to develop into a world-class midfielder. Despite showing glimpses of quality, Bergvall has failed to truly maximise his talent, albeit in a Tottenham side that has struggled badly since his arrival.

The 20-year-old only started 11 English Premier League games for Spurs last season and wasn’t favoured by Roberto De Zerbi as they successfully avoided relegation. Bergvall didn’t start any of the six games under the Italian manager and was an unused substitute for the final two games. With no European football next season, the Swedish international is concerned over his prospects and wants to depart permanently. Therefore, we’ve analysed five potential destinations for Bergvall.

Five transfer destinations for Lucas Bergvall

Bayern Munich

Bergvall spent time on trial at Bayern Munich's academy, before he moved to Tottenham and it’s understood that the Bundesliga champions have retained an interest. The Bavarian club would be a brilliant environment for the Swedish midfielder to develop as they are one of the best slides in Europe currently. Talented youngsters generally thrive in the Bundesliga, but one major concern over a potential move to Bayern is that Bergvall would be far from a guaranteed starter. In Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof, Bayern already have two excellent young midfielders and a move to Die Roten should be categorised as unrealistic.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund would represent a brilliant move for Bergvall for multiple factors. Die Borussen have earned the reputation as one of the best clubs in Europe for developing youngsters and they’ve enjoyed great success in plucking players from England. Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho are the most high-profile examples and Bergvall could truly prosper at Dortmund. The biggest problem for a potential move to Dortmund is that Tottenham reportedly want €52 million, which is €17m higher than their record signing - Ousmane Dembele from Rennes for €35m.

Inter Milan

It’s understood that Inter Milan are one of several Italian clubs interested in signing Bergvall. As Serie A champions, Inter would be the most attractive destination for Bergvall and they can also offer Champions League football. There’s been a conscious shift from Inter to lower the average age of their squad, following their 5-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final in 2025 and Bergvall fits that policy. Italian clubs, however, are notorious for preferring deals to be structured as initial loans with buy-options or obligations included and that could be problematic.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa enquired over Bergvall in January and they are likely to revive their interest this summer. Villa’s financial constraints have eased significantly after securing Champions League qualification and they’ll be able to afford Tottenham’s asking price. Villa are well stocked in central midfield but Douglas Luiz and Ross Barkely face uncertain futures and Emery could refresh his options with the acquisition of Bergvall.

Nottingham Forest

According to the Athletic, Nottingham Forest have joined the race to sign Bergvall and view him as the ideal replacement for Elliot Anderson. The England international is expected to join Manchester City for a fee in excess of €120m, so Forest will have no issue reinvesting that money into Bergvall. Unlike the aforementioned options, Forest aren’t as prestigious as those clubs and can’t offer European football, so it would be unclear whether Bergvall would be interested in a move to the City club.

Real Madrid have denied reports that they have entered talks with Michael Olise. The 24-year-old has been linked with a €150 million move to the Santiago Bernabeu, but Madrid are yet to discuss a deal with his club Bayern Munich who claim he is not for sale. Instead, the Bundesliga giants are looking to hand the France international an improved contract.

Felix Nmecha is reportedly opening to leaving Borussia Dortmund with Liverpool and Manchester United both tracking the Germany international. Nmecha, 25, has been one of the stars of the tournament so far and is attracting interest from all over Europe. He has a market value of €50 million, but a fee negotiated by Dortmund could surpass that.

Brighton have made an improved offer for Tottenham centre-back Luka Vuskovic. The Seagulls have already seen two bids rejected in the region of €40 million and €45 million, and have no improved their bid to around €51.8 million, including add-ons.
