West Ham United fans are delighted that Tottenham Hotspur beat them to Gedson Fernandes in January now.
Tottenham and West Ham went head to head for the signature of the Portuguese midfielder at the start of the year, and Jose Mourinho’s side ultimately won the race.
At the time it created great frustration with West Ham fans, who were annoyed at their club’s failure to land another target.
But it seems that West Ham have been able to have the last laugh after missing out on the deal.
Gedson has struggled badly at Tottenham, and A Bola in Portugal suggest that his loan could now be terminated early, with the player heading back to Benfica.
West Ham, meanwhile, went out and signed Tomas Soucek, who has developed into one of their most vital players.
And Hammers fans are delighted at the way things have worked out.
