Tottenham Hotspur look set to complete the signing of Mateus Fernandes, but where will he stand among the club’s most expensive transfers?It has been a week since Spurs last announced a new arrival, with back-up goalkeeper Martin Dubravka joining from Burnley. That move was followed by confirmation of Antonin Kinsky’s improved deal earlier this evening. Now Tottenham have gone a step further, securing a deal for Fernandes after weeks of speculation. The 21-year-old was highly sought after, with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid all in the race, but Spurs have won the battle for his signature.Photo by Harvey Murphy/News Images/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesMateus Fernandes breaks Tottenham transfer recordFabrizio Romano confirmed the deal with his trademark “here we go” and reported the fee at £85 million (€100m).
