Reported Tottenham target Bruno Fernandes did not have a good week.

The Mail reported yesterday that Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in Sporting Clube de Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes, 23, is a central midfielder who would face a tough challenge to establish himself in Tottenham’s strong midfield line up.

This was highlighted in midweek by his disappointing performance for Portugal against Holland.

Fernandes was outperformed by makeshift central midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum of Liverpool, who was playing in an experimental position for the Dutch.

Fernandes struggled and was substituted late on with Portugal losing 3-0 at home to the Netherlands.

He does have a good record this season for his club, with eight league goals and five assists, but signing him will be very difficult.

The Mail reported Fernandes signed a five year deal last summer with a release clause of £87 million.

Even if Spurs could convince Sporting to sell for half the price, they could do better for that sort of money, and his performance in midweek highlighted how far he still has to go to truly be worth a whopping price tag.
