It would be a massive upgrade to Tottenham’s midfield if they land the player who is regularly referred to as “one of the world’s best midfield managers”. – Relatively new manager Roberto de Zerbi has of course given his go-ahead for a player he has admired for a long time, and the admiration should be mutual.
Tottenham are putting full pressure on strengthening their midfield in the summer transfer window after two seasons on the edge of the Premier League, and now Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly given the green light for a spectacular signing.

It could be hectic months for Tottenham when it comes to bringing new players into the squad.
After a disappointing season in which the team finished 17th in the Premier League, Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation thanks to a strong upturn under their new manager. Now they are desperate to avoid being dragged into a similar battle in the future.
It is now two seasons in a row that Tottenham have finished in 17th place, and it has undoubtedly been a disastrous few years for the club.
Spurs acted quickly and already secured reinforcements, with Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson both arriving on free transfers. But the ambitions do not stop there.
Tottenham press to secure midfield general
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Tottenham have now thrown themselves into the race for Newcastle United’s midfield star Sandro Tonali.
The Italian is also a target for Manchester City, but Spurs are now pushing to secure his signature. Tonali is said to be open to a move to the London club, and De Zerbi is reportedly working hard to persuade him to choose Tottenham this summer.
Several clubs are interested in signing Tonali, but Tottenham are doing everything they can to win the battle for the coveted midfielder.
Tonali: A massive upgrade in Tottenham’s midfield
Tonali, who has been described as “one of the world’s best midfield managers”, would be a huge boost for Tottenham’s midfield management.
The Italy international has been a mainstay in Newcastle’s midfield in recent years, and if Spurs manage to lure him to the club rather than teams playing European Cup football, it would be a sensational purchase.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat rivals like Manchester United and Manchester City in the battle for the Italian, but it is a very promising sign that Tonali himself will be keen on the transfer.
One thing is for sure: Tonali would be a significant upgrade compared to Tottenham’s current midfield options. Therefore, Spurs must try to close the deal as quickly as possible.
