Everton complete the signing of midfielder Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough after weeks of negotiations over the transfer fee. The deal is reported to be worth £24–25m depending on add-ons, and Hackney signs a five-year contract with the club. The move follows Hackney’s standout form in the Championship, where he is named player of the year for the most recent season.
In parallel, Tottenham Hotspur confirm the signing of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United. Spurs’ announcement places the fee at £85m. The transfer round-up across the outlets presents both moves as completed deals, with the details focused on contract length, reported fees, and the players’ recent performances and recognition.
While the coverage centers on the confirmed transfers and their headline values, it does not indicate additional conditions beyond the reported possibility of the Hackney fee rising through add-ons. Neither source suggests the deals are pending further approvals, with both players described as joining their respective clubs.
