Tottenham are keen to bolster their midfield in the ongoing transfer window.
We are just days into the summer transfer window, and Tottenham have already made some significant moves in the market. The Lilywhites have wasted no time in securing three new signings, with the club confirming the arrivals of Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Jan Paul van Hecke. Bringing in defensive reinforcements makes complete sense, considering the North Londoners conceded 57 goals in 38 Premier League matches last season.
Spurs should now shift their focus to other areas of the pitch as they continue to build a formidable squad under Roberto De Zerbi’s guidance. The Lilywhites are keen to revamp their depleted midfield after it was confirmed that Yves Bissouma had departed N17 following the expiration of his contract. There is an urgent need to bring in a quality No. 8 who can make an impact at both ends of the pitch for the North Londoners.
So far, the Lilywhites have shown clear intent in the transfer market, and the fans are pleased to see the club backing De Zerbi this summer. After a disappointing Premier League campaign last season, during which the North Londoners narrowly avoided relegation, it is important that the club’s hierarchy invest heavily in top-quality players as Spurs look to compete at the top end of the league table.
Tottenham still leading the race to land Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali
Tottenham have set their sights on Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of the upcoming season. Recent reports suggest that the Lilywhites are already preparing an improved offer for the prolific midfielder after their £75 million bid was rejected by the Magpies last week. Not only that, but the North Londoners are also willing to offer him a substantial pay rise, with reports claiming that the Italy international could earn an additional £275,000 per week.
Despite growing interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City, it is Spurs who currently appear to be leading the race for Tonali’s signature. Fabrizio Romano, via his YouTube channel, has now provided a positive update on the 26-year-old’s future. Speaking on his channel, Romano said,
“Many people are asking if Sandro Tonali is going to Tottenham or not? I stand by my exclusive news from last week out of nowhere, Sandro Tonali to Tottenham, full stop. Tottenham are working on the deal to sign Tonali and that remains the case. Deal is on.”
As highlighted by Fabrizio Romano, Spurs remain firmly in the driving seat, and it is believed that the Lilywhites will be able to complete a deal for the midfielder’s signature. Tonali is also reportedly keen on the move and is eager to join forces with Roberto De Zerbi at N17 as the North Londoners look to challenge for major honours once again following a disappointing domestic campaign last season.
Should Tottenham go all-in for Sandro Tonali?
Tottenham need a dynamic presence in midfield after reports suggested that Lucas Bergvall is keen on exploring new opportunities this summer. The Lilywhites have lacked a dominant box-to-box midfielder capable of influencing matches at both ends of the pitch. As a result, it makes complete sense that the North Londoners are pushing hard to sign Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali. He is widely regarded as one of the finest box-to-box midfielders in world football.
Known for his tenacity, energy, and relentless work ethic, the Italy international would undoubtedly thrive at N17. The Spurs faithful appreciate players who give everything for the badge and continue fighting when the going gets tough, and that is a quality Tonali possesses in abundance. He is also a natural leader in the dressing room and consistently makes his presence felt on the pitch through his pressing, tackling, and progressive passing, making the 26-year-old an ideal target for the Lilywhites.
