Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is a big fan of Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves as a January transfer could be possible. As reported here for the Daily Briefing, there looks like a decent chance that Neves could move back to Europe this January for around 20m. It remains to be seen if this will definitely lead Man Utd to pursue Neves as a priority, but he's a player Ruben Amorim sees as a good fit for his squad.
West Ham are poised to sign Mateus Fernandes from Southampton for a fee of about 38m. Talks progressed swiftly on Wednesday and it is understood the 21-year-old midfielder has undergone a medical in London. West Ham have been hunting for midfield reinforcements and are also poised to finalise personal terms with Monaco's Soungoutou Magassa, who will cost 17m (14.7m) plus 3m in add-ons.
