Tottenham Confirm the Arrival of Gedson Fernandes<\/h2>\n

Young Central Midfielder That Can Excel as Cover<\/h3>\n

The 21-year-old is likely to be thrown straight action, with Tottenham having a number of problems in central midfielder.<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho is currently without the French duo of Moussa Sissoko<\/a> and Tanguy Ndbombele<\/a> after both being ruled out by injuries.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Tottenham boss has chopped and changed in midfield since his arrival. As a result, Fernandes can stake a claim to become the first choice over the next 18 months, and persuaded Tottenham to make his deal permanent.<\/p>\n

Despite featuring sparsely this season, the Portuguese international is highly-regarded by parent club Benfica. He has featured 43 times for the club, but only seven of those have come this season.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the official Tottenham website<\/a>, the young midfielder said: “I’m very happy to be here today – I make my dream a reality.<\/p>\n

“For me, it’s one big dream to come to this club. I will try to give my best for the club every day, in every training session and in every game and I will try to help the team wherever I can, working hard every day for this shirt. This is a fantastic challenge that I have accepted and I have to win my challenge. I want to make good things – let’s see!”<\/p>\n

Analysing the competitiveness of the Premier League, Fernandes said: “The Premier League is a different competition – every player in the world wants to play in the Premier League. For me, it’s one motivation because I always dreamed of playing in this league and now let’s make my dream come true.<\/p>\n

“I think we’re going to do fantastic things because this is a fantastic club.”<\/p>\n
