Ideal January transfer targets for each of the Premier League Top 6

Tottenham Hotspur - Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes should be a top priority for Spurs if Christian Eriksen were to leave

New boss Jose Mourinho has turned around Tottenham Hotspur’s fortunes following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino last month. The Portuguese manager lifted Spurs out of their misery with the club now aiming a top-four finish once again. Last season’s Champions League finalists have now won 4 out of 5 games in all competitions under their new manager, and look forward to gain significant momentum and consistency for the rest of the reason.

Spurs’ front-four of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Lucas Moura and Heung-min Son are firing on all cylinders once again, and Saturday’s blistering 5-0 display against Burnley was a trailer of things to come. However, star midfielder Christian Eriksen, who was on the verge of exiting the North London outfit this summer, is one of the few who has failed to reignite his form under Mourinho.

The Danish playmaker has fallen down the pecking order at Spurs and often finds himself on the bench. With his heart set out of the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, club chairman Daniel Levy will look to bring in a high-profile replacement.

Sporting CP midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who was one of the hottest prospects of the summer transfer window, is a player Spurs should be desperately craving. The Portuguese international had a breakthrough season last term when he racked up 20 goals and 13 assists from midfield in the Primeira Liga. And he has continued his red-hot form into this season having been directly involved in 11 goals in the league and scored 5 in 5 in the Europa League.

Jose Mourinho and Spurs will be closely looking at Fernandes, who, at 25, would surely desire to play in the Premier League given how well his Portuguese compatriots have fared. The Champions League would be another target for the midfielder, who’d look to make a name for himself among the European elite.
