Tottenham Hotspur have entered advanced talks to sign Mateus Fernandes, triggering a fierce transfer battle with rivals Manchester United for the West Ham United midfielder.

The Hammers find themselves in a commanding negotiating position following a recent £90 million shareholder cash injection.

Consequently, the East London club is demanding a substantial valuation between £80 million and £85 million to sanction the 21-year-old’s departure.

Furthermore, Spurs, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all actively tracking Bournemouth’s highly-rated talent Alex Scott, despite the Cherries’ strong desire to secure him to a new contract.
