West Ham fans of Twitter have been giving their views on the move of Benfica’s midfield talent Gedson Fernandes to Tottenham on an 18-month loan with an option to buy.

The Sao Tome-born star had been linked with a switch to hook up with his fellow Portuguese youngsters Xande Silva and Mesaque Dju, but instead chose Jose Mourinho’s side.
