Reports in Portugal suggest Spurs are better placed to sign Fernandes than United or Liverpool

His performances convinced Lyon to snap him up for 8million last summer after a successful season on loan, but he is yet to agree to a new deal at the Groupama Stadium.But he told Le Progres: Ive told my agents and the club Im not fixed and have not made a decision.The Ligue 1 side want 70million for the midfielder, although Spurs believe they can get their man for closer to 50m.Portuguese paper Record reported yesterday that Tottenham also want Fernandes. The midfielder scored 28 goals in all competitions last season as captain of Lees. It claimed they are close to completing a 70m deal after talks with agent Miguel Pinho in London. The 24-year-old would be an ideal replacement for Christian Eriksen, who is set to leave the club after six years in north London.The arrival of either Ndombele or Fernandes is likely to signal the end of Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama, with Pochettino content to let them leave this summer.
