Leeds United have expressed strong interest in signing Southampton midfielder Mateus Fernandes following their promotion to the Premier League.
Injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar has assessed Fernandes’ fitness record, suggesting that he could be on the move in the near future.
Southampton will be competing in the Championship next season, a situation that Leeds are eager to take advantage of.
Fernandes has been given a clean bill of health, having not faced any injury issues this season, making him a strong candidate to pass any medical examination.
With 36 league games under his belt and experience in the English top flight, Fernandes has proven himself capable of adapting to the demands of the game.
Leeds are reportedly willing to offer close to £30million for Fernandes, a price that matches the valuation set by Southampton, making him their top transfer target.
Dr Brar, speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, praised Fernandes for his injury-free season and regular game time, highlighting his high fitness levels and suitability for a Premier League team.
Fernandes’ versatility, technical skill, and exceptional fitness make him a valuable addition to Leeds, where he could play a key role in ensuring the team avoids relegation while developing into a future star.
