However, Football Insider reports that Liverpool are now making it a priority to sign a central midfielder who will add energy and athleticism in the middle of the park. They are already in contact with West Ham with a view to signing the player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 21-year-old midfielder is valued at \u00a385m and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to shell out big bucks for him. It would be a very expensive acquisition. They need to improve multiple areas of their squad and spending \u00a385m on Fernandes seems highly unlikely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">West Ham United would need to make reasonable demands to make the move happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The same goes for Manchester United and Tottenham. They need a quality central midfielder and the Portugal international would be the ideal addition. However, this request could complicate matters for both clubs.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Want more catchoffside coverage?

It will be interesting to see where he ends up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He has the technical qualities to play for the biggest clubs in the country and could be an asset to Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andoni Iraola is set to sign a contract with Liverpool today (Photo by Warren Little\/Getty Images) Matheus Fernandes has been linked with a move from West Ham United all summer.
