He was promoted to Benfica's first team last summer and has scored 10 goals and set up five more in 18 league appearances.Meanwhile, Portuguese outlet Record reports that Paris Saint-Germain scouts will be in attendance to watch Fernandes and Felix at Wednesday's Portuguese Cup semifinal between Benfica and Sporting.Asked about the attacking midfielders, their fellow Portuguese Mourinho told reporters during a meeting of the national coaches association in Portimao: "I think they should be left alone and not talk about Cristiano [Ronaldo]. It's ridiculous to talk about Cristiano and compare him with talent that emerges, however big he is."But listen, these two are great talents. They can play in any club in the world."Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are keeping tabs on Everton centre-back Michael Keane.Both sides want to add a ball-playing defender to their ranks, and Spurs sent scouts to watch the 26-year-old in Everton's comfortable 2-0 victory at West Ham at the weekend.Toby Alderweireld's Spurs future remains the subject of speculation, while his Belgian compatriot Jan Vertonghen turns 32 at the end of April and boss Mauricio Pochettino is determined to add some youth to his back line.Arsenal have been watching former Manchester United man Keane for several months but, with the the Mirror reporting that a fee for the England international could be as much as £50 million, Gunners boss Unai Emery might be forced to look elsewhere this summer.Manchester United will not give in to Ander Herrera's contract demands, despite the Telegraph linking him with a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.Herrera, 29, is looking for a deal in excess of £200,000 a week, more than double the £80,000 salary he is currently earning, and the former Athletic Bilbao man is attempting to use interest from France to secure a pay rise.But United remain confident of securing an agreement at a much lower rate, albeit one that will still exceed his current earnings.Herrera is not the only Spain international locked in a contract battle at Old Trafford, with goalkeeper David De Gea holding out for a £500,000-a-week deal.Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is attempting to persuade manager Zinedine Zidane to move for Atletico Madrid centre-back Jose Gimenez.Zidane's preferred option at the back is Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly, but AS says Perez fears being priced out of a move for the Senegal international.Koulibaly is under contract in Serie A for another four years, putting Carlo Ancelotti's side in an extremely strong negotiating position.A move for Uruguay international Gimenez would also be complicated, however. Atletico have already agreed a deal to sell left-back Lucas Hernandez to Bayern Munich, while Gimenez' central defensive partner, Diego Godin, looks set to leave for Inter Milan.But that isn't putting off Perez, with the 72-year-old rumoured to have already held discussions with his target in December.- Spurs have no plans to sell under-fire goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, despite his glaring error in the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday. The Mail reports that Tottenham are instead looking to strengthen in other areas.- Arsenal are in the hunt for Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser and are set to make a move for the Scotland international in the summer, according to the Mirror. Gunners scouts have given glowing reports after watching the 25-year-old in action.- Tuttosport says Tottenham have joined the race for Juventus winger Douglas Costa. Costa has not featured for the Serie A champions since early February, and a fee of £60m should be enough to secure the 28-year-old's signature.
