PSG want West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes Paris Saint-Germain are targetting a summer move for West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, according to French outlet Foot Mercato. West Ham brought the Portuguese to the London Stadium from Southampton last summer, and he has been a key player under Hammers manager Nuno Esprito Santo. Fernandes has played 33 games for the Irons across all competitions, weighing in with four goals and three assists.

His performances have attracted PSG and the Ligue 1 club have already established contacts with his representatives as they look to lure him away from West Ham. The Hammers are battling relegation and failure to survive the drop at the end of the season would see them lose Fernandes and other top stars. Nuno will be desperate to keep them up, but that would not guarantee them holding on to the Portuguese international, especially if a club like PSG come calling.

They are the reigning Champions League champions and are already in the semi-finals of the elite European competition again this term as they look to defend their trophy.
