Bruno Fernandes open to transfer from Sporting but won’t force move
Tottenham were linked with Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes in the summer, according to the Daily Mail.
The 25-year-old helped Portugal win the Nations League and was in great goal-scoring form for Sporting Lisbon too.
Manchester United were also linked with the midfielder, but a move away from Sporting failed to take place (h/t Daily Mail).
Fernandes has scored eight goals and provided six assists for Sporting this season. The 25-year-old also featured for the national team in their 6-0 win over Lithuania recently.
The midfielder was speaking about his future and claimed he has dreams to fulfil but won’t force a move away (h/t Daily Mail):
“I’m well, doing my job and doing the best I can. I have dreams to fulfil but I have no need to force my departure.
“I feel the love here and if I have to leave, I hope I leave good memories.”
Fernandes also claimed that he wasn’t worried about the transfer rumours, and it will be interesting to see if he is on the move later on.
Spurs to move in the winter window?
Fernandes was excellent in the previous campaign too as he racked up 20 goals and 13 assists in the league alone.
Tottenham made some big moves in the summer and have seen Tanguy Ndombele do well since joining.
Giovani Lo Celso, another midfielder who joined in the summer, has also started our last two games.
It will be interesting to see if we make a move for Fernandes in the winter window.

Christian Eriksen is a free agent at the end of the season and hasn’t been at his best either. We could do with more goals from the midfield, and Fernandes has a record of scoring regularly from that position.
