West Ham United are closing in on the signing of Mateus Fernandes after reaching an agreement with Southampton over a £40 million deal. The highly rated Portuguese midfielder has attracted strong interest this summer, but the Hammers have now moved decisively to secure his signature.
The 20-year-old, known for his technical quality and energy in midfield, is seen as a key addition as West Ham look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign. Personal terms are expected to be a formality, with Fernandes keen on the switch to the London Stadium.
The deal represents a major investment from West Ham, underlining their intent to compete both domestically and in Europe this season.
