Nuno’s plan appears to be forming as West Ham United have taken a major step to helping Nuno off the pitch.

The Hammers had rumours circulating that Paco Jemez might not have renewed yet for a reason, and those suspicions are now correct. West Ham are closing in on getting Nuno’s right-hand man, Rui Pedro Silva, his assistant manager at both Wolves and Nottingham Forest.

As well as West Ham’s kit release this morning, Mateus Fernandes has officially been announced by Spurs, concluding the rumours and marking the end of what felt to be an impending saga.

With Fernandes’ sale generating West Ham £85m, a replacement needs to be found, and it appears that the Hammers were ahead of the curve, anticipating Fernandes’ departure long before the confirmation and have found their man that they believe should replace Mateus.

West Ham United have agreed to sell Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham Hotspur for an £85m fee today. The Portuguese midfielder was contemplating and open to joining both Spurs and Manchester United, but Spurs pushed forward, offering a fee Manchester United weren’t happy to pay, and the Hammers have accepted their offer.

Mateus Fernandes did not force a move away and was content with waiting; it just happens to be that Tottenham were willing to pay the money.

It will be £85m guaranteed, with no add-ons, and if a sell-on clause is included, it is unknown.
