Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been taken aback by reports claiming the club are actively pursuing moves for both Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.It has barely been two days since Tottenham Hotspur officially confirmed the arrival of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton and Hove Albion after signing him for £52m.Still, reports have linked them with even more players in recent weeks, with Sandro Tonali on Spurs’ radar as they look to bolster their midfield following the strengthening of their defence.On June 19, Spurs Web reported that Tottenham had joined the race to sign £80m Mateus Fernandes following West Ham United’s relegation from the Premier League.The Portuguese midfielder is attracting strong interest from several top-flight clubs, with Manchester United also reported to be interested in his services.While Fernandes is unlikely to come cheaply, reports suggest Tottenham’s pursuit of the 21-year-old would not prevent them from moving for Sandro Tonali as well, with the club believed to be exploring both deals simultaneously.Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesTottenham fans react to Mateus Fernandes linksSpurs fans have now caught wind of the latest reports and have taken to social media to share their reactions.

De Zerbi himself is said to be keen on Fernandes despite the midfielder being part of the West Ham side that suffered relegation.The midfielder is already experienced in the Premier League, having made 36 appearances last season, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
