West Ham agrees to a deal worth 40 million pounds to sign Fernandez from Southampton

West Ham reached an agreement worth more than 40 million pounds to sign the midfielder in Southampton Matisse Fernandez.

The 21 -year -old Portuguese talent was granted the green light to travel to London and underwent his doctor before this step.

If it is completed, Fernandez will become the third most expensive sign in hammers in history, behind Sebastien Haller (45 million pounds) and Lucas Paqueta (51 million pounds).

The signature comes at a decisive time by Graham Potter, who is already under pressure after his team opened the campaign with three consecutive defeats in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Southampton will get a large return of 15 million pounds, who invested to bring Fernandez from sports only last year.

Since his arrival in St. Mary, Portugal under 21 has made 46 games, which has contributed four goals and seven decisive passes.
