One player who is likely to be sold is Mateus Fernandes, a 21-year-old midfielder who has been a bright spot for the team this season. Signed in August 2025, Fernandes has worked hard to help his team stay in the Premier League.

Fernandes has impressive pass completion stats, with four assists that put him second only to Jarrod Bowen in the squad. He has also scored three goals, which is just a few less than several other players who play in more forward positions.

Despite his success, Fernandes is likely to be one of the first players to leave the London Stadium as the club looks to rebuild and balance its finances.
