Tottenham Hotspur are pushing hard to sign West Ham midfielder Carlos Fernandes, with talks advancing positively despite the North London club’s recent failure to land Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali.
BBC Sport reports that the 21-year-old Portugal international is among Spurs’ top transfer priorities this window, though West Ham are holding firm with an £80 million valuation. De Zerbi had openly admired fellow Italian Tonali, but despite a similarly-sized bid being lodged with Newcastle, the midfielder appears destined to remain at St James’ Park.
Tottenham have wasted no time in the transfer market this summer, already securing goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and defensive reinforcements Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Jan Paul van Hecke, signalling serious intent ahead of the new campaign.
