Tottenham Hotspur have secured a major transfer coup with the signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United. The 26-year-old Italian midfielder has agreed to join the Lilywhites, according to Sky Sports Italy.

What happened?

Tottenham Hotspur have been pursuing Tonali all summer, and their efforts have finally paid off. The club had previously seen a £75million offer rejected by Newcastle, but they have now reached an agreement with the Magpies.

Tonali's signing is a significant boost to Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfer plans. The club are looking to build a team capable of competing for a top-four finish, and Tonali's arrival will be a major step towards achieving that goal.

What comes next?

Tottenham Hotspur will now look to finalize the deal with Newcastle United, with the club set to pay £100million for the Italian midfielder. Tonali will become the club's highest-paid player, earning £275,000 per week.
