Bruno Fernandez features in Portuguese super cup hammering against benfica

Tottenham transfer target Bruno Fernandes captained Sporting Lisbon in their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Benfica in the Portuguese Super Cup Final. 

Rafa Silva, Alejandro Grimaldo and Chiquinho found the net while Pizzi bagged a brace as the Primeira Liga champions ran riot at Estadio Algarve. 

Fernandes looked despondent on the pitch at full-time after what may well be his final game for Sporting.

The Portugal international midfielder held talks with Sporting president Federico Varandas on Friday to inform them of his desire to leave and hopes the club will not stand in his way as he sets his heart on a move to Tottenham.

Sporting's high valuation of £64million has discouraged several Premier League clubs including Manchester United from making an offer as they believe the 24-year-old to be worth closer to £35m.

Tottenham have made an offer but are understood to be still some way short of Sporting's desired price.

Fernandes scored 31 goals from midfield last season and Mauricio Pochettino believes he can take the workload off Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min who play the supporting roles for main striker Harry Kane.

Tottenham sent a delegation to Lisbon earlier this week and have continued talks with Fernandes due to play for Sporting against Benfica in the Portuguese Super Cup on Sunday.

Paris St Germain, Marseille and Real Madrid have also shown differing degrees of interest in Fernandes but he wants to join Tottenham.
