Sandro Tonali has been reported to be leaving St. James’ Park in recent months. The trio of Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City have signalled towards the end of the season they are all very interested in starting next season with the Italian midfielder in the squad. Now it turns out the Premier League’s top three clubs have to look far for Tonali signing. Not because of Newcastle’s unwillingness to sell, but one of the Premier League’s weakest clubs that has made the right coaching choice for the Italian.

The ban for illegal betting has definitely not hurt Sandro Tonali’s career. Newcastle gave their Italian midfield boss confidence despite the chaos on the off-field level. That confidence was answered by playing as one of the Premier League’s best defensive midfielders.

Tottenham in pole position to sign Sandro Tonali

According to transfer journalist Romano, Tonali is one of Spurs’ top priorities in the transfer window, with Roberto De Zerbi looking to strengthen his midfield squad. Romano reports the interest is mutual, with the Newcastle star having Tottenham as his first choice, ahead of Manchester City.

Manchester United, Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham have all made contact. Man Utd were the first to pull out of the transfer after doubting the overall cost, the transfer journalist claims Tonali is well on his way to ending up as a Tottenham player.

-Sandro Tonali WANTS to go to Tottenham, so he is eager for the transfer. I don’t think there will be any problem with the player, financially or contractually. Also because the connection between Tonali and De Zerbi is very clear, both from the same city of Brescia, so the connection is very, very good,” Romano says on his youtube channel.
