Tottenham Hotspur Are Serious Contenders For This Newcastle United Star: Good Fit For De Zerbi? In a recent segment on Youtube , renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are serious contenders for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali this summer. Romano said, “Tottenham entered the race strong to sign Sandro Tonali and Sandro Tonali is open to joining Tottenham. Tottenham are real contenders to sign Sandro Tonali, Tottenham are strong contenders for Sandro Tonali and Tottenham are very serious. “It’s a bid, it was sent three days ago. Tottenham sent an official bid, £75million, rejected by Newcastle, they want more. The first bid is never getting accepted, it’s normal and common knowledge in football that when you want to negotiate for a top player with a big transfer fee that the first bid never gets accepted. “It’s part of the plan, because for Tottenham it was the message sent to the player and to Newcastle as well, but especially the player, to show that they are serious. “It’s not the bid we need to talk about now, Tottenham remain in conversations with those close to Tonali and Tottenham remain in conversations to make a new bid. Tottenham are there and working for Tonali, they are working very hard and very strong to get Sandro Tonali.” Tonali’s Impressive Form In English Football The Italy international enjoyed a good run of form at Newcastle last season when he produced a lot of influential displays for them in the Premier League. Tonali scored three times and earned seven assists in 53 matches for the Magpies in the previous campaign on all fronts. The 26-year-old is currently among the most talented midfielders in the Premier League. Hence, Tottenham would do well to lure him to North London this off-season.

Will Tonali Be A Good Fit For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Roberto De Zerbi? Tonali loves a tackle and can scan the danger well to earn the ball back for his side inside his half. He doesn’t mind clearing his lines when the opposition are on the offensive and excels at playing his way out from midfield. The Italian sensation can even chip in by scoring and creating the odd goal for his team. He has got some valuable experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham. Tonali would add more quality to Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi’s midfield. He is good enough to challenge for regular first-team football at the North London club. At 26, Tonali’s peak years are ahead of him, which makes him a great fit for De Zerbi’s needs in the long run. Hence, Tottenham would be wise to go all out to recruit him this off-season.
