Spurs pursue Mateus Fernandes after Tonali bid from Newcastle rejected

Tottenham Hotspur is intensifying its pursuit of West Ham's Mateus Fernandes, who is valued at £80 million. This follows a rejected bid for Newcastle's Sandro Tonali, which was reportedly worth around £80 million. Tottenham is actively looking to strengthen their midfield amid ongoing talks for Fernandes, with optimism about reaching an agreement. Spurs have already made significant moves in the transfer market this summer, having signed four players to bolster their squad, including goalkeeper Martin Dubravka on a free transfer.
