Liverpool and Arsenal are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing Mateus Fernandes from West Ham.
Fernandes has been a positive in a tough campaign for the Hammers, after arriving from Southampton last summer. The 21-year-old has scored three times and provided three assists for the East Londoners, while he ranks fourth in the Premier League for tackles won.
His performances earned Fernandes a maiden Portugal call-up in March, and he made his international debut against the USA on April 1st, replacing namesake Bruno Fernandes as a late substitute.
Premier League rivals are circling, with Caught Offside reporting that Liverpool have reached out to the player’s agents. The Reds are keen to understand the potential conditions of a deal this summer.
Manchester City and Arsenal are also admirers of Fernandes, who West Ham reportedly value at around £55m. The Hammers paid around £40m to sign the midfielder from relegated Southampton in last summer’s window.
