Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Mateus Fernandes on a permanent deal from West Ham United.
The move sees Spurs beat Manchester United to the Portugal international’s signature, who had been heavily linked with a move away from the London Stadium.
Speaking after signing, he said: “I’m very excited for this next step. Spurs is a massive club, and the head coach was a key part of why I have decided to join.
“When we spoke, it was very special. We look at football in the same way – going onto the pitch as a strong team, with fight and energy, to try and win every game. I can’t wait to get started, to meet the fans, to meet everyone, and give everything for the club.”
