Spurs signed the young midfielder from Benfica on an 18-month loan and there is an option for the deal to become permanent for a reported £56 million (h/t The Guardian).
There were a lot of competition for the 21-year-old midfielder with West Ham reportedly chased him this month. In fact, the Hammers had a deal agreed for Fernandes as well, but Spurs hijacked the move.
David Moyes has commented on the situation suggesting only time will tell whether West Ham have really missed out on him. He adds that there’s no point in getting disappointed now, and certainly won’t lose his sleep over it as he has other targets in mind.
