Report: Jorge Mendes in London to tie up Gedson Fernandes loan deal for Tottenham

According to reports from The Telegraph, super-agent Jorge Mendes is in London to tie up the 18-month loan deal that will bring midfielder Gedson Fernandes to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 21-year-old undertook his medical on Tuesday afternoon ahead of his potential move to Spurs. Mendes will attend Tottenham Hotspur’s FA Cup third-round replay against Middlesbrough this evening, and will be looking to wrap up the deal after that.

The Portugal international will arrive on loan with an option to buy permanently. He will offer Spurs the much-needed depth in midfield which Jose Mourinho is lacking following the injury to Moussa Sissoko.
