One of the young stars currently forging an international career for themselves with Switzerland, Fernandes has the potential to become a world class talent in the future.
Still only 21-years-old the Cape Verde born midfielder has made the step up from the youth teams to the senior stage with a seamless ease.
He was captain of his country's U21 side before a number of impressive displays saw him thrown in with the full squad sooner than many had expected.
He was handed his debut in an early season friendly fixture against Holland and also featured in the 2-1 defeat to England back in February.
A bright start to his career at FC Sion saw a host of English clubs battle it out for his signature, with Manchester City eventually emerging victorious.
He has immediately settled to life in the Premier League, with his all-action style perfectly suited to life in the top flight.
He has been a regular member of Sven Goran Eriksson's squad at the City of Manchester Stadium and should be provided with the ideal platform on which to display his considerable talents this summer.
