Sandro Tonali En Route to Tottenham: "I'm Ready for the New Adventure"

Italian international Sandro Tonali departed Milan today for London to finalize his transfer from Newcastle to Tottenham. The deal is set to be a record for the Spurs, with a guaranteed fee of £92.5 million and an additional £7.5 million in add-ons.

At Malpensa Airport, Tonali commented on his decision, stating: “We decided it was time for a change, and I’m ready for this new adventure. There was no option for me to return to Italy.”

Medical tests are scheduled for later on Thursday, and the player's contract will be for six years.

This transfer will be completed just hours after Matheus Fernandes' move from West Ham, which was confirmed earlier today. Tottenham will pay £85 million for the Hammers' midfielder, also a record fee at present.

Tonali leaves Newcastle after three seasons. The Magpies paid AC Milan €60.8 million for his services.
