Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, as per Caught Offside.

After joining Southampton from Sporting CP in 2024, the 21-year-old showed glimpses of his qualities in the Premier League last term, even though he failed to help his side secure their top-flight status.

Having been impressed by the Portuguese, the Hammers decided to purchase him by spending a hefty fee last summer, and he has found himself in a similar situation this season as last term.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been languishing in the relegation scrap, but Fernandes has displayed promising performances, making seven goal contributions in 31 appearances across all competitions.

The midfielder’s recent eye-catching performances earned him a call-up to the Portugal national team during the March international break.

Now, Caught Offside claim that after being attracted by Fernandes, several top Premier League clubs have registered their interest in signing him.

Arsenal are interested in him and could make a concrete approach to seal the deal during the offseason. Moreover, Manchester City are in this race as well.
