Mateus Fernandes
21-Year-Old
West Ham United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fernandes posted a solid inaugural EPL season in 2024/25. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder joined Saints from Sporting at the start of the season, he was unable to break into the starting lineup there and spent the 2023/24 season on loan to Estoril Praia. His attacking statistics from 2024/25 do not represent the high work rate he exhibited on the field; from 36 appearances (34 starts) he netted two and provided four assists, but he consistently showed strength in long crosses, high pressing and tackling (2.5 per game). He was starved of service and support last season but he will have a good chance to ratchet up a better goal tally in the Championship as he and his teammates faces second tier competition.
Scores in defeat
Fernandes scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Aston Villa.
ANALYSIS
Fernandes buried his second of the season with an unassisted shot from a tough angle. This marked just the fourth time this season that he had more than one shot in a match, while this was his first shot on target in seven outings. Additionally, he failed to account for a chance created for the first time in four appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Saints reject first offer
Southampton have rejected West Ham's first approach for Fernandes, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Saints aren't keen on parting ways with Fernandes unless a club meets their valuation. West Ham's opening offer for 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder was worth £30 million plus add-ons. They'll need to aim higher if they're going to complete the signature of the talented playmaker before the end of the transfer period.
