Mateus Fernandes has emerged as a major target for two Premier League sides, and the focus now shifts to which club can strike an agreement with West Ham United.

Following a strong campaign this season, it became evident that Fernandes would attract significant interest from top-flight clubs during the summer transfer window. West Ham’s relegation further cemented that expectation.

Over the past few weeks, two clubs have taken the lead in the pursuit of the Portuguese midfielder. Tottenham Hotspur, who are undergoing a major squad overhaul this summer, have already made some decisive signings and now appear eager to add Fernandes to their ranks.

Manchester United are also part of the chase, aiming to strengthen their squad after securing a return to the UEFA Champions League.

According to a report by TeamTalk, journalist Andy Mitten shared insights into Fernandes’ potential move, stating that the player “would play for Spurs, but prefers Manchester United.”

The final outcome will likely depend on which club meets West Ham’s asking price. It is understood that United “don’t want to get into an auction situation,” leaving the door open for Tottenham to gain the upper hand with an aggressive offer.

The coming weeks promise to be crucial as both clubs attempt to finalise their summer transfer plans.

In a separate development, Nico Paz could still join Como next season, though the Italian club would reportedly need to pay for him a second time to secure his services.
