Matheus Fernandes Cleared for Tottenham Medical Ahead of Transfer

Portuguese midfielder Matheus Fernandes has been granted permission by West Ham to undergo a medical ahead of his transfer to Tottenham, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. It was reported yesterday that both clubs had agreed to an £85 million deal for the midfielder, with Spurs outbidding Manchester United, who were also keen on acquiring the player.

Fernandes is expected to complete his medical either today or tomorrow, after which he will sign a contract with Tottenham, and the deal will be officially announced. The North London club continues to be highly active in the transfer market, having already secured the signings of Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, and Andy Robertson. Various sources suggest that the next major target on their list is Sandro Tonali, also valued at approximately £85 million.

Reports in the English media indicate that Tottenham's hierarchy is determined to drastically reverse the club's fortunes after two seasons spent battling relegation until the final weeks. This ambitious vision was reportedly key in securing Roberto De Zerbi at the end of last season. The former Brighton manager has reportedly been promised a transfer budget exceeding £200 million.
