Confirmation of Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes’ transfer to Tottenham Hotspur is imminent, according to reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The 21-year-old Portugal international will sign his Spurs contract within the next few hours.
He is expected to sign on an initial 18-month loan, with a permanent transfer to follow in June 2021
Tottenham will reportedly pay betwen £42m and £51m to ultimately seal the deal.
Fernandes had previously been strongly linked with a switch to West Ham United, but Romano says the Hammers were never in the running for him.
But Romano is adamant that West Ham’s apparent interest was fictitious.
