Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes and Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake are considered too expensive for Tottenham Hotspur to sign in the January transfer window, that is according to a report from the Evening Standard.

Spurs have been linked with both players recently, with 90 min reporting in November that Jose Mourinho wanted Fernandes whilst The Telegraph have suggested that the club like Ake.
However, according to the Standard, the north London club won’t be signing either as they are likely to be too costly in this window.
Both players would surely have been strong additions. Indeed Fernandes has scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists this season (Transfermarkt) whilst Ake has become a seasoned Premier League defender who has made 107 appearances for Bournemouth (Transfermarkt).
But it comes as no surprise that Spurs are unlikely to spend big bucks on the two players, considering that in the 2018/19 season the club didn’t buy a single player (Transfermarkt).
Naturally, most Tottenham fans are furious that the club deem these players too expensive to sign, with many taking aim at owner Daniel Levy on Twitter.
Here is what some had to say…
Let levy enjoy an empty stadium, he’ll get the message then

Our club has made the second highest amount of profits in the Premier League since 2001 when Enic took over, there’s no excuse for them to be deeming these players “too expensive” #ENICOut

Levy is slowly destroying our beautiful club.

A free transfer would be too expensive for Tottenham

Levy still thinks players are going for @alanshearer 15 million prices. Idiot. How anyone says he’s doing the right thing for the club is beyond me. Football is about success on the pitch not of it. The boards a circus

We just spent a billion pounds on this stadium! We needed a rebuild but Levy decided to invest in the stadium, when is the rebuild meant to start then? This club is soo backwards
