Transfer news: West Ham’s standout performer in an otherwise miserable season looks set to leave this summer, with speculation surrounding Mateus Fernandes intensifying by the day. The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas confirmed that Fernandes is expected to be sold even if West Ham are relegated.

Transfer News: Liverpool, Arsenal And United are interested in West Ham’s most wanted midfielder Fernandes has scored five goals and provided four assists across 40 appearances in all competitions this season, consistently starring for a side struggling near the foot of the Premier League table. TEAMtalk‘s Graeme Bailey reported that West Ham are insisting anyone buying him is purchasing a Premier League-calibre player, not a Championship one.

Fernandes is reportedly keen on joining Manchester United, largely because he wants to play alongside his Portuguese international teammate Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Liverpool offer Champions League football and a dynamic midfield structure under Arne Slot that perfectly fits Fernandes’s press-resistant, tempo-dictating qualities.
