Tottenham join Liverpool and Man Utd in Gedson Fernandes transfer race
"Tottenham are studying a move for £35million-rated Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes. Manchester United and Spurs' Champions League Final opponents Liverpool have already been linked with the young star of Portuguese football.
"But the north Londoners are now making the bigger play to land the 20-year-old enforcer and have moved ahead of their top-six rivals in the queue. Representatives working for Fernandes were in England last week and met with potential suitors.
"The player, born on the African island of Sao Tome and Principe, joined Benfica aged 10 and rose through the ranks before breaking into the first team last summer. He has been capped all the way through Portugal’s age groups with his first two senior caps this season."
