Tottenham signs midfielder Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for £100m
Summary

Sandro Tonali is set to leave Newcastle United for Tottenham Hotspur in a deal valued at £100 million. This sale continues a trend for Newcastle, which has already seen key players like Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon depart in recent months. The club's shift towards a trading model is partly due to the need to comply with profit and sustainability rules after finishing 12th in the Premier League last season. Newcastle made it clear they are committed to compliance with UEFA's regulations, which necessitates raising funds through player sales. Newcastle is expected to reinvest the proceeds as they aim to improve their squad ahead of the new season.

What they're saying

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini says rivals Newcastle selling Sandro Tonali to Tottenham in a deal worth up to £100m is "probably a positive thing" for the Magpies. Eddie Howe's side have effectively needed to trade to reinvest with Alexander Isak, Antony Gordon and now Tonali all leaving the club in the space of less than a year. "Newcastle have had an issue for a number of years with the financial situation and selling players for that value, and replacing them with younger players, will make a huge change to their squad cost ratio," Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle.
