Tottenham have completed the club-record signing of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United.
The fee is understood to be £85m, which has smashed the club’s transfer record of £65m paid for Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in August 2024.
Spurs beat off competition from Manchester United to sign the 21-year-old in an £85 million ($112m) deal that has smashed the north London club’s previous transfer record of £65m paid to Bournemouth for Dominic Solanke in 2024.
“I’m very excited for this next step. Spurs is a massive club, and the Head Coach was a key part of why I have decided to join,” Fernandes said in a statement to club media.”
“When we spoke, it was very special. We look at football in the same way – going onto the pitch as a strong team, with fight and energy, to try and win every game. I can’t wait to get started, to meet the fans, to meet everyone, and give everything for the Club.”
Spurs, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season for the second year in a row, have already signed Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dúbravka as they revamp their squad in an attempt to avoid being dragged into another relegation battle.
Tottenham are set to beat the transfer record set for Fernandes with the arrival of Sandro Tonali after agreeing a deal with Newcastle United worth up to £100 million for the midfielder’s services.
