Life o' life, was bought for 250 euros, sold for 65m euros

He grew up on a small island far from Gabon's capital, while Gedson Fernandez had a dream to play the Premiere League.

Despite much noise and disagreement, his dream finally came true.

He has joined Tottenham in a borrowing agreement for the next 18 months and the purchase option for 65m euros.

This figure could represent a big blow to Benfian, who pays 250 euros and a sack of balls to sign him as a child.

Although he had not started well and was substituted at the beginning of the season, Fernande's talent has always been praised by Benfia, who has placed a 100m-euro clause.

The Portuguese club saw something special about him from an early age and fought with the rivals of Sporting Lisbon to bring him to the club when he was only 10.

Fernandes signed for Benfia in 2009 after spending a year at the SC Frielsas Academy.

He joined team B in 2017. After a full season with team B, Fernands was promoted to the first team.

In 2018, after joining Benfya's first team, Fernandes was considered one of the most prospective players in Europe, even joining the 20 - man narrow line for the Golden Boy Award.

The 21-year-old made 46 presentations in all competitions in his first full edition, marking three goals and giving six assistings, where Benfita won the championship.

Even though he has failed to maintain the levels from last season Benfia, Jose Mourinho has taken it to Tottenham, becoming his first purchase.

His Way and Childhood

His path to this point has not been easy. He was born on the island of São Tomé, the only important name to emerge from the same country is Wolfves' manager Nuno Esperito Santo.

In his early years, Fernandes had little, for his family struggled for financial survival. Playing soccer was his way to escape and it was the streets of Sao Tome that he learned his trade.

He and his family were eventually allowed to move to Portugal when Fernandes was still young and settled in the southeastern town of Friela.

Fernandes joined the local football academy, where his talents were soon seen. SC Freelas is not known for producing names, but in a match against Benfias one of the biggest clubs in the country came the big call.

His parents were at first against the idea of him joining Benfakan, but some trainers in Freeellas convinced him that it was an opportunity they couldn't let him escape.

It was clear that Fernandes had natural skills with the ball at his feet, but he often irritated the trainers because he did not even pass on to his teammates.

“Gedson, please sit down and let the others play”, coach Paulo Sergio told during a match.

Coach... please let me play even more, he answered Fernandez.

“I promise no longer to mark the only”.

His tendency to drive is still evident in his game, but over the years Fernandes has developed as a midfielder. The 21-year-old is a player now and safely.

With Moussa Sisoko injured by April and Giovanni Lo Celso and Tungy Klumbet, who have failed to adapt, Fernandes will offer a base formation player.
