Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Italian is facing an uncertain future at St James’ Park this summer, with several top clubs interested in his services. Spurs’ pursuit is driven largely by manager Roberto De Zerbi, who has identified Tonali as his primary midfield target ahead of his first full season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Targeting a player of Tonali’s calibre signals Spurs’ intent to compete for silverware in the near future, having narrowly avoided relegation in 2025/26. Any deal for the 26-year-old will require Spurs to fend off competition from Manchester City and ***** nal. City see the Italian as a top alternative to first-choice target Elliot Anderson, while ***** nal remain interested after a failed January bid. With Tonali under contract until 2028, Newcastle United hold significant leverage and will demand a substantial fee to consider selling their prized ***** et, despite having already sanctioned a high-profile exit this summer, with Anthony Gordon moving to Barcelona, which somewhat alleviates the Magpies’ financial concerns.
Having signed Andrew Robertson and Marcos Senesi, Spurs are moving quickly to complete their summer business. The North London club are also in talks with Brighton & Hove Albion for Jan Paul van Hecke and reportedly hold an interest in Bart Verbruggen.
