Португалийн хагас хамгаалагч 85 сая фунтын үнээр Тоттенхэмтэй урт хугацааны гэрээ байгуулснаа албан ёсоор баталгаажууллаа.
Өнгөрсөн улирал амжилт муутай байсан Тоттенхэм бүрэлдэхүүнээ хүчирхэгжүүлэх зорилгоор Вест Хэм-ээс Матеус Фернандесийг эгнээндээ нэгтгэлээ. Тэрээр лхагва гарагт эмнэлгийн үзлэгт хамрагдсаны дараа шинэ багтайгаа гэрээ байгуулсан бөгөөд ирэх улиралд 18 дугаарын өмсгөлтэй тоглох юм. Энэ зуны солилцооны цонхоор Тоттенхэм өмнө нь Жан Пол ван Хекег худалдан авч, Эндрю Робертсон, Маркос Сенси, Мартин Дубравка нарыг чөлөөт агентаар элсүүлээд байсан билээ.
Фернандес шинэ багийнхаа бүрэлдэхүүнд багтсандаа сэтгэл хангалуун байгаагаа илэрхийлж, дасгалжуулагчийн баримталдаг эрч хүчтэй, ялалтын төлөөх тоглолтын философи өөрт нь нийцэж байгааг онцоллоо. Тэрээр Спортинг Лиссабоны хүүхдийн академиас гараагаа эхэлж, улмаар Саутхэмптон, Вест Хэм багуудад өөрийгөө харуулсан туршлагатай тоглогч юм.
Тоттенхэмийн хувьд энэхүү наймаа нь Европын олон том багийн сонирхлыг татаж байсан залуу хагас хамгаалагчийг өөрийн болгосон чухал алхам боллоо. Вест Хэм-ийн бүрэлдэхүүнд байхдаа тогтвортой тоглолтыг үзүүлсэн 21 настай тоглогч ийнхүү хойд Лондоны багийн төлөө хүчин зүтгэхээр боллоо.

Mateus Fernandes has completed his £85m move from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur, the North Londoners confirmed today.
After finishing 17th and narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Spurs knew they would have to be bold in the transfer market to get the club back competing for a top four place again.
They’ve wasted no time in strengthening the squad this summer with Jan Paul van Hecke arriving in a big-money deal from Brighton, while Andrew Robertson, Marcos Sensi and Martin Dubravka have all been signed on free transfers.
Adding to his midfield was also a priority for Roberto De Zebri and Fernandes emerged as a prime target for the North London club.
Tottenham faced stiff competition as several big names throughout Europe were linked with the Portuguese international after he impressed for West Ham last season despite their relegation to the Championship.
Spurs acted swiftly to get a deal agreed with the Hammers and Fernandes undertook his medical on Wednesday after agreeing a long-term contract.
Fernandes deal confirmed
Tottenham announced on their website earlier today that Fernandes has now completed his move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and becomes their latest signing of the summer window.
Speaking to the clubs website, the midfielder expressed his excitement at the next chapter in his career:
“I’m very excited for this next step. Spurs is a massive club and the Head Coach was a key part of why I have decided to join.
“When we spoke, it was very special. We look at football in the same way – going onto the pitch as a strong team, with fight and energy, to try and win every game. I can’t wait to get started, to meet the fans, to meet everyone, and give everything for the Club.”
It has also been confirmed that the 21-year-old will wear the No.18 shirt next season.
After coming through the youth ranks at Sporting Lisbon, Fernandes joined Southampton in 2024 and caught the eye with his composure on the ball.
Following their relegation from the top flight, the Saints sold Fernandes to West Ham last summer in a deal worth reporting in excess of £40m.
He continued to impress in the middle of the park at the London Stadium and Tottenham eventually fought off competition from several rivals to secure his signature.
