Martim Fernandes has a host of top Premier League suitors ahead of future windows as he continues to impress with FC Porto.
According toTBR, Martim Fernandes is emerging on the shortlist of many top Premier League sides. Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are considering moves for the young Portuguese right-back, with Tottenham also in the mix for the FC Porto teenager.
There are a lot of Premier League clubs likely to enter the next markets in search of a right back. There are some of those established stars likely to leave their current surroundings around next summer, although Arsenal are not expected to be among those.
Yet, the Gunners are interested in a move for FC Porto teenager Martim Fernandes as Mikel Arteta could potentially look to bolster his backline even further. The idea of signing the 18-year-old defensive prodigy could be appealing for the north Londoners, who could use Fabio Vieira as a bargaining chip to sign the teenage right-back.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also in the mix, as they arereportedly thinking about offloading Reece James in the future. The club captain has had a torrid time with fitness issues, as the Blues could lose patience with his talents and choose to replace him with a much younger player, as someone like Fernandes could come in and compete with Malo Guston.
The likes of Tottenham and Liverpool are also keen, and among the rest, these two sides may have a realistic need to bring in a new starting right back. As for Fernandes, he has been brilliant for Porto this season when he has been given a concerted amount of games to impress, and he has done that so far this season.
Tottenham, Liverpool in Martim Fernandes chase
Liverpool could potentially lose Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer asReal Madrid continues to push for his signature. The right-back’s current deal expires next summer, as Liverpool may have to dip into the market for a smart signing to come in and compete with another youngster, Conor Bradley.
As for Tottenham, the future of Pedro Porro could force them into the market for a starting right-back. Porro himself is a. target for Real Madrid, although the Spaniard is widely seen as an alternative to Alexander-Arnold by the Spanish side. Hence, should either Spurs or Liverpool lose their current right-back option, a move for Martim may not seem out of order.
