According to reports, Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali is \u2018keen\u2019 on a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.<\/p>\n
Over the past couple of seasons, Tonali has developed into one of the Premier League\u2019s standout midfielders, and he has been heavily linked with an exit from Newcastle.<\/p>\n
Tonali <\/a>failed to secure a move to Arsenal in January, but he has remained linked with them and other Big Six sides in recent months.<\/p>\n Newcastle are under less pressure to sell Tonali after offloading Anthony Gordon, but it is not out of the question that he is let go if they receive a suitable offer for the centre-midfielder.<\/p>\n Spurs <\/a>have made a fast start to this summer\u2019s transfer window and Romano revealed on Monday that they are making a bold move for Tonali.<\/a><\/p>\n Having already landed Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers and as they work on deals for Savinho, Jan Paul van Hecke and Joao Palhinha, they have \u2018entered the race\u2019 to sign Tonali.<\/p>\n READ: Insider reveals Pedro Porro rejected four giant clubs as he \u2018always\u2019 wanted Tottenham stay<\/a><\/p>\n Romano said on X: \u2018EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham have entered the race to sign Sandro Tonali!<\/p>\n \u2018De Zerbi wants Tonali as new star for the midfield, ideal to step up #THFC level.<\/p>\n \u2018Spurs ready to face Man City and Arsenal in the race for Tonali for new ambitious project to prove their intentions.\u2019<\/p>\n Romano reveals Tottenham green light for Tonali<\/p>\n Now, in another update, Romano has revealed that Tonali is \u201ckeen on a move to Tottenham\u201d, and another \u201cimportant detail\u201d is in their favour.<\/p>\n \u201cTottenham want to do something very, very important in terms of a top player, top name in midfield,\u201d Romano said on YouTube.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Brighton \u2018ready third offer\u2019 to Tottenham for Luka Vuskovic with \u2018verbal agreement\u2019 reached<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAn important detail: Roberto wants Tonali, but De Zerbi and Tonali are from the same city, Brescia in Italy. So there is a very good connection between them.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just about being Italian; it\u2019s also about being from the same city. The connection is excellent. And so, De Zerbi is pushing internally at Tottenham to have Tonali as soon as possible.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, the timing will depend on negotiations with Newcastle. It is never easy to strike a deal with Newcastle, but Tottenham will be on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Regarding Tonali\u2019s stance, Romano continued: \u201cMy understanding is that Tonali is keen on a move to Tottenham. Tonali is open to joining Tottenham. Tonali is ready to join Spurs even without European football, even after a terrible season for them.<\/p>\n \u201cTonali is attracted by the project, wants to play for De Zerbi, and so the possibility to see Tonali at Tottenham is really serious, it\u2019s really concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n
