Host Ricky Sacks is joined by an excitable panel as Tottenham are poised to break their transfer record after beating Manchester United to the signing of Mateus Fernandes for £85M.

The Portugal international is heading for a new challenge after West Ham’s relegation from the Premier League and will strengthen Roberto De Zerbi’s options in central midfield. De Zerbi, who helped Tottenham to narrowly avoid relegation last season, has been handed significant funds this summer and also hopes to sign the Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali.

Spurs have already been active in the market and have boosted their defence by signing Jan Paul van Hecke for £52m from Brighton and securing Marcos Senesi on a free transfer from Bournemouth.

Fernandes, who is due to have a medical before signing his contract, will add more creativity to De Zerbi’s side. He joined West Ham from Southampton for £38m last summer and caught the eye with a string of impressive performances. He was targeted by United, Arsenal and Real Madrid but Tottenham are the only club willing to meet West Ham’s asking price. United felt the numbers were too high and are looking elsewhere for midfield additions.
