Tottenham have joined this summer’s transfer race for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, according to reports in Italy.
Tonali has established himself as one of the most highly regarded central midfielders in Premier League football since swapping AC Milan for Newcastle back in 2023.
A ten-month ban for breaching betting rules meant Tonali made only 12 appearances in his debut season with the Magpies, but the 26-year-old has gone on to become a key member of Eddie Howe’s dressing room and was an integral figure in the club’s Carabao Cup success.
However, Tonali’s future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months and the Toon are bracing themselves for a potential bidding frenzy, with the summer transfer window having opened on Monday.
According to respected Italian football journalist Matteo Moretto, Spurs are the latest Premier League side to ‘forcefully’ throw themselves into the mix for Tonali’s signature.
But Spurs have asserted themselves as a genuine force in the battle for Tonali and it’s claimed they are ‘ready to hand the 26-year-old the keys’ to their new project under Roberto De Zerbi.

De Zerbi is said to be playing a central role in Tottenham’s pursuit of a deal for Tonali and is actively ‘pushing’ club bosses to coax his fellow countryman away from St James’ Park.
Crucially, it’s claimed Tonali is ‘open’ to the prospect of a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite the club narrowly avoiding relegation from the Premier League last season.
Newcastle are believed to be demanding a fee in excess of £100million for Tonali – just three years after the midfielder arrived in the north east from Milan in a €70m (£60.5m) deal.
Tonali’s current contract with Newcastle is not due to expire until June 2029.
