Sources close to the deal are sceptical about West Ham’s chances of completing the signing. Fernandes is highly rated and it is widely believed he has a good chance of ending up at a club with greater aspirations than West Ham. West Ham are also believed to have renewed their interest in Marseille’s Morgan Sanson. Darren Randolph’s £4m move to West Ham has been held up by a thigh injury that has troubled the Middlesbrough goalkeeper this season. There is a belief within West Ham that Joe Cole could return in a coaching role as Moyes looks to fill his backroom staff.
