Spurs sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur have secured the signing of midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United for a reported fee of £85 million. The deal, announced on June 30, 2026, comes after West Ham's relegation from the Premier League, leading them to make Fernandes available for transfer. Spurs' offer was the highest received by the Hammers, with Manchester United also expressing interest but ultimately deciding against pursuing the player due to cost concerns. Fernandes, who joined West Ham from Southampton for £38 million last summer, is set to be Spurs' fourth signing of the transfer window, following deals for Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, and Jan Paul van Hecke.
