Newcastle United \u2018remain interested\u2019 in Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray despite having a bid turned down by Spurs, according to Fabrizio Romano.<\/p>\n
Tottenham<\/a> have already been very busy in the transfer market by bringing in four new signings after the Spurs board look to avoid being in a relegation battle again next term.<\/p>\n Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka all arrived at Tottenham on free transfers, while Jan Paul van Hecke has joined from Brighton in a deal worth around \u00a352m.<\/p>\n And it now looks like Tottenham could break their transfer record twice in a week as they close in on the signings of West Ham\u2019s Mateus Fernandes and Newcastle\u2019s Sandro Tonali.<\/p>\n Romano said on his YouTube channel<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s done\u2014Matheus Fernandes will play for Tottenham Hotspur and not for Manchester United. Man United have been in conversation for a long time with Fernandes until Tuesday morning. I can guarantee to you that before lunchtime, Manchester United were still in contact with the agent of the player, still in contact with West Ham.<\/p>\n \u201cBut what made the difference is the transfer fee, because Manchester United were not matching the \u00a385m valuation in full. They were never going to pay \u00a385 million in full, but they were prepared to reach \u00a385 million including add-ons.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Transfer rumour ranking: Arsenal accept bid for starter as Man Utd, Gunners fight over Scott<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cTottenham arrived with an \u00a385 million guaranteed fee\u2014a fixed fee, no add-ons, no future stories. West Ham have the guarantee they wanted. \u00a385 million for a player strongly wanted by Roberto De Zerbi.<\/p>\n \u201cDe Zerbi was pushing like crazy behind the scenes to get Fernandes. It was not easy for Tottenham to get the green light from the player with Man United involved to play in Champions League football. Tottenham were in trouble till the final day of the Premier League season, so it\u2019s a completely different situation.<\/p>\n \u201cBut now we can say that Tottenham have agreed all terms with Matheus Fernandes and also with West Ham. So, \u00a385 million\u2014the most expensive deal in history for Tottenham.<\/p>\n \u201cTottenham remain in conversations with Newcastle for Sandro Tonali. So we have to see also the outcome of that conversation between Tottenham and Newcastle, but for sure they are working very hard to rebuild the midfield.\u201d<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s dream Tottenham XI for 26-27: Rebuild with SEVEN new signings\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n An \u00a385m deal for Fernandes would break Tottenham\u2019s transfer record, while there have also been claims that a new bid has gone in for Tonali<\/a> worth in excess of \u20ac100m (\u00a386m), which would eclipse the amount potentially spent on the West Ham midfielder.<\/p>\n Gray exit if Tottenham get Tonali over the line?<\/p>\n And now Tottenham are batting off bids for their players with Newcastle, who own Tonali, looking to bring in a replacement for the Italian in the form of former Leeds United star Gray.<\/p>\n
