Tottenham Hotspur eye Mateus Fernandes amid West Ham's financial pressure

Tottenham Hotspur is pursuing West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, according to The Athletic. Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi aims to reshape his squad this summer and sees the 21-year-old as a top target. West Ham values Fernandes at approximately £80 million due to the need to generate around £150 million from player sales. Despite a relegation threat, Fernandes impressed last season with five goals and five assists across 42 appearances, also earning his first senior Portugal cap. Tottenham has initiated conversations with Fernandes' representatives as they explore midfield options, while other clubs, including Manchester United, PSG, and Real Madrid, are also interested.
