Sandro Tonali has insisted he is ‘really happy’ at his impending move to Tottenham Hotspur as it is time for a new adventure.

Spurs have agreed to pay Newcastle United a fee which could reach £100m if all the add-ons are triggered and the Magpies have now signed off on the sale.

Tottenham were irritated by Newcastle insisting the £100m figure had to be hit, but have nevertheless agreed to sign the Italian.

Now the midfielder is boarding a plane in Italy in order to arrive back in the UK later today, ready for his medical to then take place.

Tonali has spoken about the move as he arrived at the airport in Milan and is clear he is delighted he will be joining Tottenham.

The Italy international insists that it was time to change clubs and embark upon a new challenge, which he is ready for.

“I’m really happy, everything is different, we’ve decided to change and we’re ready for this new adventure”, he said to journalists at the airport, via Tutto Mercato Web.

Tonali will want to come through the medical tests without an issue, with a Tottenham contract running until 2032 ready for him to put pen to paper to.

The Italian admits that there was never a realistic prospect he could return to Serie A this summer, though held out the possibility of a return to AC Milan at some point in the future.

“It’s always been very difficult, it never happened even though we talked about it.

“We joke about it [returning to AC Milan] all the time, but if the opportunity arises, maybe one day we’ll talk about it seriously.”

For now Tonali will be focused on his new chapter at Tottenham, who are splashing serious cash in the summer transfer window and are far from finished.

Spurs have just splurged £85m on Portugal midfielder Mateus Fernandes and will add Tonali as another engine room option.

The Italian star will have an early significant date to pencil into his calendar, with Newcastle set to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League as soon as 29th August.

Tottenham Hotspur ‘will be making a big move’ for United States attacker Folarin Balogun ‘after the World Cup‘.

Balogun came through the Arsenal youth system, and following loan spells at Middlesbrough as well as Reims, permanently joined Monaco in the summer of 2023.

The 24-year-old forward scored 19 goals and chipped in with five assists in 43 games in the recent campaign, helping Monaco secure European football with a seventh place finish in Ligue 1.

Tottenham got an up close look at Balogun during the campaign, as he played against Spurs in the Champions League league phase.

Balogun, born to Nigerian parents and brought up in England, is currently starring for the United States at the World Cup and so far has made three goal contributions in two games.

Spurs have been very busy in the summer transfer window, having already signed Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Jan Paul van Hecke to strengthen the defence for next season.

Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali are poised to arrive to add to midfield, but attack is also a focus and the north London club have been namechecked in the race to sign Balogun this summer.

According to Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba, Tottenham ‘will be making a big move’ to sign Balogun ‘after the World Cup’.

However, Spurs could face competition from French outfit Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea for the former Arsenal star.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi will want to add more firepower to his side, especially after Spurs registered just 48 goals in the league, and with the departure of PSG loanee Randal Kolo Muani.

The Lilywhites have backed De Zerbi in the transfer market this summer and show no sign of slowing down.

Balogun still has two years remaining on his contract with Monaco, but with substantial interest from several clubs, a move away this summer could be on the cards.

However, with the 24-year-old currently being involved in the World Cup, a decision on his future will most likely be made after the conclusion of the tournament.

Spurs could face tough competition from PSG, who can provide Balogun with Champions League football and also an opportunity to extend his stay in Ligue 1.

Balogun though may well ask how much game time he would get at the Parc des Princes as part of a star-studded squad.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to lose the services of defender Luka Vuskovic, with a deal to sell the centre-back now agreed with Brighton.

Spurs are set to splash £85m on signing midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham, which comes hot on the heels of a £52m capture of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton.

The north London side are also still trying to do a deal to land Sandro Tonali and are waiting for a final answer from Newcastle United on their latest proposal.

Bringing cash in will also be a requirement as Spurs try to balance their spending and Croatia defender Vuskovic is being sold.

Brighton have failed with bids for the defender this summer, but now a breakthrough has been made, though Spurs have been careful to include a sell-on clause and first refusal if he is sold by the Seagulls in future.

Journalist James Olly wrote on X: “Brighton have agreed a £50m deal with Tottenham for Luka Vuskovic.

“Deal comprises £46m + £4m in add-ons.

“Spurs also have a 20 per cent sell-on clause and matching rights on a possible future transfer.”

For Vuskovic, who was on loan at German side Hamburg last season, playing football on a regular basis in the new campaign has been on his mind.

With Marcos Senesi joining Van Hecke through the door and adding to the range of centre-backs Tottenham have, Vuskovic opened the door to a move to Brighton.

The switch should make sure that the Croatian gets the first team football he feels he needs to continue his development, while having the opportunity to test himself in the Premier League.

Spurs’ sell-on clause and matching deal rights though ensure that they will continue to maintain an interest in the defender’s development over the coming years.

The move will not find favour with former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega, who dubbed the idea of Spurs selling Vuskovic this summer ‘crazy’.

Vuskovic shone brightly on loan at Hamburg last term and questions could soon be asked of Spurs if he takes that form into the Premier League.
