Tottenham are reportedly close to agreeing personal terms with Mateus Fernandes with the Manchester United target said to be open to a move to north London.
After an impressive season at West Ham United, Fernandes has emerged as a leading transfer target for a number of clubs.
Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have explored a move for the 21-year-old with Jose Mourinho also recommending Real Madrid consider him as part of their rebuild this summer.
Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reports Spurs are now ‘very close’ to reaching a contract agreement with Fernandes who is open to a move to north London.
There have however been no official negotiations with West Ham at this stage.

A successful swoop for Fernandes would represent a major coup for Tottenham who are seeking to rebuild with their brush with relegation last season.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side are also challenging the Premier League elite for the services of Sandro Tonali. The Newcastle United star is wanted by Manchester City and Arsenal with Spurs also joining the race for his signature.

United meanwhile have made rebuilding their midfield a top priority this summer. They already seem set to miss out on a player regarded as their top target in Elliot Anderson who favours a move to Manchester City.
Going to Man United is still a massive draw, Liverpool as well with their history,’ Micah Richards recently told Metro on he topic of Anderson heading to the Eithad.
‘Everyone has certain things they want when it comes to choosing a club. Some grew up Liverpool fans, some grew up Man United fans. But many will be thinking what is the best possible move for my career.’
