Midfielder Bruno Fernandes claims that Sporting Lisbon prevented him from joining Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes has claimed that he agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer.

Despite frequent speculation regarding a transfer to the Premier League, Fernandes remains at Sporting with just two days left of the transfer window.

However, the Portugal international has suggested that his current club prevented him from linking up with Spurs, despite personal terms having been successfully negotiated.

The 24-year-old told GQ Portugal: "As you all know, Tottenham made a lot of proposals for me. Everything was right with me - or practically should be.

"I never made any big demands, my manager was always dealing with the financials. It was and is my goal to play in England, Sporting you know that, everyone knows that, and there were conditions for things to be done.

"But Sporting understood that the value was not enough and I have to respect the decision."

Real Madrid are allegedly considering an approach for Fernandes ahead of Monday's deadline.
