West Ham have agreed a deal in excess of 40m to sign Southampton midfielder Mateus Fernandes and the 21-year-old has been granted permission to travel for a medical in London. Fernandes would become West Ham's third-biggest signing, behind Sebastien Haller and Lucas Paqueta. The move represents a potential boost for under-pressure manager Graham Potter after the side lost their first three matches of the season in all competitions. Southampton look set to make a substantial profit on the 15m they paid for Fernandes last summer. The Portugal Under-21 international has played 46 times for Saints, scoring four goals and providing seven assists. West Ham are also close to signing Monaco midfielder Soungoutou Magassa for about 17.3m, with a medical expected on Thursday.
