Tottenham have made another major statement in the summer transfer market after agreeing on a £100m deal with Newcastle United for Sandro Tonali.

According to David Ornstein, the Italian will make the switch to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a move worth £92.5m plus £7.5m in potential add-ons based around multiple Champions League qualifications.

Following an almighty scare last season in which they avoided relegation to the Championship on the final day of the season, Tottenham have already made some huge moves in the transfer market as they look to drastically change their position in the Premier League standings.

Having earlier this week agreed on a club-record £85m deal for Mateus Fernandes of West Ham, the north London club will surpass that lofty figure with the addition of highly-rated Tonali.

What Tonali will earn at Tottenham

The incoming arrival of Tonali is a real signal of intent from Tottenham as Roberto De Zerbi looks to drag his team back up the league table to challenge for the top four once again.

Key to that was always going to be about improving the squad, with the additions of Fernandes and Tonali giving Spurs an eye-catching midfield for the 2026/27 season and beyond.

With a £100m transfer for the former AC Milan star now set to come to fruition, the 26-year-old 'superstar' will see a huge increase in what he currently earns a week at Newcastle.

According to The Times, Tonali will almost double his wages to £275k a week once his move to Tottenham is officially complete.

Spurs mean serious business by paying out big money for Tonali and much will be expected of him in midfield when it comes to pulling the strings for De Zerbi's team.

What next for Tottenham in midfield

Tottenham will have a new-look midfield for the 2026/27 season with Fernandes and Tonali set to partner each other in the middle of the park.

Adding some much-needed quality to that area of the pitch, the duo will join players such as Rodrigo Bentancur, Conor Gallagher, Archie Gray and Pape Matar Sarr as Spurs' midfield options.

Tottenham have already seen Yves Bissouma exit the club following the conclusion of his contract, with Joao Palhinha returning to Bayern Munich after his season-long loan spell came to an end.

Lucas Bergvall is also expected to depart as he looks for regular first-team football elsewhere.

Sandro Tonali has arrived at Milan Linate Airport and spoken to the media for the first time before flying to London ahead of his blockbuster £100m move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle United and Spurs reached an agreement on a deal for Tonali on Wednesday evening, with the fee expected to be in the region of £100 million, with prospective add-ons.

Subject to passing his medical, the Italian will become the Lilywhites' record signing, whilst he'll join the likes of Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke in Roberto De Zerbi's summer squad rebuild at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs have also reached an agreement with West Ham United for Mateus Fernandes, with that fee expected to be worth around £85 million.

A busy summer is ensuing in North London, and there are seemingly plans to strengthen the attack after the deal for Tonali goes through.

Tonali Reveals Why he is Joining Tottenham

With Italy not at the World Cup, Tonali has spent the summer back in his homeland whilst negotiations take place over his future.

He's now set to return to the United Kingdom to undergo his medical and complete his move to Spurs. Spotted at Milan Linate Airport, the midfielder broke his silence on the imminent transfer.

"We decided for a change and we are ready for this new adventure," he told journalist Luca Bendoni.

"We parted with Newcastle on excellent terms. De Zerbi played a big role in my decision to choose Tottenham. National team? The goal is to return to the World Cup."

Tonali, who has been described as 'world-class', has spent the last three years on Tyneside, after completing a shock switch from his beloved AC Milan in the summer of 2023. Making over 100 appearances for the Magpies, he leaves as an EFL Cup winner and having generated the north-east club upwards of £100 million in a transfer fee.

With the player on his way to London, the deal can be expected to be made official in the coming days.

Tottenham to Turn Attention to the Attack

Thus far this summer, Spurs have significantly bolstered their backline and midfield. Now, the attention is expected to turn to improving the front end of De Zerbi's squad.

Junior Kroupi has been heavily linked with a switch to Tottenham, with the North Londoners eager to add a younger centre-forward who can compete with the ageing Dominic Solanke and Richarlison to their ranks. Like Tonali, the Bournemouth striker could cost in the region of £100 million.

Elsewhere, Spurs have also been linked with Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche. The 24-year-old would provide cover for the injured Xavi Simons, and perhaps take the mantle left by James Maddison in the future.

Out wide, Crysensio Summerville and Savinho are rumoured to be on Tottenham's radar.

Tottenham Hotspur may have agreed to sign Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in deals worth £185m, but they're not done strengthening their squad yet.

The north London club have been incredibly active in the transfer window so far, completing moves to bring in Andy Robertson, Marco Senesi, Martin Dubravka, and Jan Paul van Hecke, while they have agreed to pay £85m for West Ham's Fernandes and £100m for Newcastle's Tonali to strengthen their midfield.

But after also agreeing a £50m deal to allow Luka Vuskovic to depart this summer, Roberto De Zerbi is looking at other areas of the pitch that he wants to strengthen, as more exits are anticipated.

Tottenham Eyeing Man City Star Trafford

According to The Independent's Miguel Delaney, Tottenham are showing a strong interest in Man City and England goalkeeper James Trafford this summer.

Trafford, who has been described as 'world-class', moved to Man City last summer from Burnley but quickly found himself as the number two after the club completed a deal for Gianluigi Donnarumma in the same window. That has left Trafford disappointed, and he is now keen to leave to establish himself as a number one elsewhere.

Tottenham are expecting Guglielmo Vicario to leave permanently during the window, while Antonin Kinsky has signed a new long-term contract with the promise of competing for a place as the number one goalkeeper.

But Spurs are now eyeing a move for the 23-year-old to bring some 'authority' to the position, with Dubravka well aware that he has been signed as a back-up option from Burnley.

Trafford and Kinsky would compete for the number one role, with Spurs ready to bring in a new goalkeeper if the right option become available.

Trafford Could Be Long-Term No.1

Kinsky's future at the club looked to be dead and buried when Igor Tudor hooked him in the opening minutes of the defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, but he battled back to claim his place in the side for the end-of-season run-in and made some huge saves to keep them in the Premier League.

Now he looks set to be the number one, but it's no surprise that there are some doubts over whether he is good enough, and Trafford would provide a more than reasonable and safe alternative in his position.

If the fee is reasonable, then bringing in a 6ft 5 goalkeeper who is very good with the ball at his feet too won't be looked at as a bad thing, and would give the manager real options to choose from.

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £50m deal to sell Luka Vuskovic to Brighton and Hove Albion this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs have had a very busy transfer window so far, completing deals for Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka, while a move for Mateus Fernandes is on the verge of being completed for a club-record fee of £85m.

But the club are now working on outgoings alongside those incoming deals, and a deal with Brighton for young defender Vuskovic has now been finalised by all parties,

Tottenham and Brighton Agree Vuskovic Deal

Vuskovic, who has been described as 'exceptional', enjoyed a sensational season on loan at Hamburg in the 2025/26 season and had initially been expected to return to north London to compete for a starting place.

But the defender asked to leave to further his development elsewhere with more regular playing time, and after having a number of bids rejected, Brighton have now agreed to pay £46m plus £4m in bonuses to get a deal done for the Croatia international.

Spurs have agreed a deal that will see them continue to hold a 20% sell-on clause over his future, while they will also have matching rights if he moves on, allowing them to retain control over his future somewhat.

Romano adds that Tottenham are now ready to go 'all in' for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali with the new incoming funds, which could see the Italian join in a deal that would exceed the fee that is to be paid for Fernandes to West Ham, meaning the club would be breaking their transfer record twice in one window.

Vuskovic Deal Could Be Shrewd Business

While Vuskovic is considered to be one of the top young defenders in world football, Spurs need players for right now.

The club have Micky Van de Ven in their back line already alongside Kevin Danso, while Van Hecke and Senesi's arrival means there is plenty of depth and competition. It's also worth noting that as of this writing, Cristian Romero is still at the club.

That would likely make Vuskovic sixth-choice, and he's of no use to anyone there. Selling him for a big fee, and retaining some control of his future, is excellent business, and Spurs can now focus on strengthening the squad even further as a result to get back to being competitive.

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal worth £100m with Newcastle United to sign Sandro Tonali, according to David Ornstein.

The north London club narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League on the final day of the season thanks to a 1-0 win over Everton, and the team are now looking to reward Roberto De Zerbi by strengthening the squad.

After agreeing a club-record deal with West Ham to sign Mateus Fernandes for £85m, the club have now gone one further and found an agreement with the Magpies to further strengthen their midfield with the Italy international in a huge statement signing.

Tottenham Agree £100m Tonali Deal

Tonali, who has been described as 'world-class', has been expected to leave the north East club all summer after they missed out on European football, but the Magpies valuation saw a number of clubs back away from negotiations.

But Spurs had made him their top target to make a statement in the market and bolster their squad, and an agreement has now been found for a club-record deal worth nine figures.

Tottenham have agreed to pay a fixed fee of £92.5m for the former AC Milan star, plus a further £7.5m in add-ons based around multiple Champions League qualifications.

Tonali will now join alongside Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, and Fernandes in what is proving to be an incredibly busy summer for Spurs, as they look to get back to being competititve in the Premier League after two 17th-placed finishes.

Tonali a Statement Signing for Spurs

Spurs were always going to be busy in the summer window after a poor season, but they are really putting their money where their mouth is this summer and are going all-out to bolster the squad.

Tonali is a world-class operator and had interest from the likes of Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd and others this summer, but Spurs being able to get a deal over the line is a huge statement that they are ready to push hard and compete with the very best around.

Lucas Bergvall is expected to depart having asked to leave, which creates space for new arrivals, and Tonali will now be the heartbeat of the squad for the upcoming season and beyond with a deal being done.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to hold 'serious' talks to sign another West Ham United star after sealing an agreement for Mateus Fernandes and as they continue to work on a deal for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.

Tottenham reached a major breakthrough in their summer transfer plans on Tuesday when it was confirmed that they had agreed a £85m deal to sign Fernandes from their London neighbours, seeing off competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United for the Portugal international's signature.

Spurs have already signed Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka on free transfers this summer, with Jan Paul van Hecke also joining in a deal worth just over £50m from Brighton and Hove Albion.

After reaching an agreement to sign Fernandes, subject to the 21-year-old passing his medical, Roberto De Zerbi also wants Spurs to complete a deal for Tonali too, which will likely break their transfer record again.

With the defence and midfield looking to be sorted should they get a transfer for the Italy international over the line, attention is likely to turn to strengthening an attack that has already been weakened numbers wise by the exit of Randal Kolo Muani following an underwhelming loan spell.

Tottenham Planning Summerville Talks

According to Harry Hotspur, Tottenham chiefs are far from done this summer even if they do land Tonali after Fernandes.

The report says that the next piece of the puzzle for De Zerbi is West Ham winger Summerville, with 'serious' talks set to open between the two clubs for the £50m-rated star once the Irons have been given time to deal with life after their Portugal international.

De Zerbi is said to particularly like the 24-year-old because his direct dribbling and work rate suit his system, meaning he would be able to rotate with the other wide players in the team.

Summerville would likely provide strong competition on the left-hand side for Mathys Tel, given he is a right-footed left-winger.

Tottenham Open Talks Over Signing Croatian Star

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Tottenham have also asked for information about a deal to sign Como and Croatia star Martin Baturina.

The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the best playmakers in Serie A, and announced himself on the global stage with a stunning goal in his nation's 4-2 defeat to England at this summer's World Cup.

The Croatian is said to be valued at £70m by the Champions League new-boys, but they also have no intention of selling him this summer as they look to make a splash in Europe's elite club competition under Cesc Fabregas next term.

It's also difficult to see where Baturina would fit in should he arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, given the two central midfield spots could be taken up by Fernandes and Tonali.

That would potentially leave the likes of Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus and even Dejan Kulusevski battling for the No.10 spot, with De Zerbi already facing a decision on who his first-choice there will be, even with the possible addition of Baturina.

Tottenham Hotspur have been the busiest team in the summer transfer window so far and they do not show any sign of slowing down.

Spurs have already confirmed four completed deals, with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and defenders Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson arriving on free transfers. They also spent big on signing Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton in a £52million deal.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi has set out his stall to revitalise the ailing squad that he inherited at the end of March and the Spurs owners have backed their new boss with signings he has asked for.

Midfield duo set to arrive in north London

A fifth signing is imminent, with Tottenham having agreed a deal with West Ham to sign Mateus Fernandes after winning the race with Manchester United. Fernandes will become Spurs' new record signing in a deal worth £85million.

Spurs are still in talks with Newcastle United over a deal to sign Sandro Tonali, with an initial £80million bid rejected by the Magpies. Should they manage to negotiate a fee, it is likely the Italian would then break the transfer record once more.

Tonali's arrival would add major strength to the midfield department, which has already been boosted by Fernandes' signing. And having bolstered his defence and goalkeeping department, all that would seemingly remain for De Zerbi would be to upgrade his forward line.

There are a number of players who will be like new signings for the Italian, with Dejan Kulusevski having not featured at all last season and Mohammed Kudus yet to play under De Zerbi.

But there are likely to be new figures arriving in that department too. Richarlison could leave if the right offer comes in for him, while the likes of Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert will remain sidelined for the start of the campaign, which leaves Spurs a little light.

Spurs turn attention to forward signing

GIVEMESPORT understands Tottenham will look at the market for a new No.9 this summer and Eli Kroupi Junior has emerged as a potential candidate to arrive in north London, according to Spurs insider Paul O'Keefe.

The Bournemouth striker broke the Premier League record last season for the number of goals scored by a teenager in a season, taking the mantel from Robbie Keane and Robbie Fowler before him.

In his first season in the English top flight, the now 20-year-old notched 13 goals in 33 appearances, although nine of those goals came in the 21 starts he was handed by then boss Andoni Iraola.

Kroupi has plenty of admirers, with Arsenal and Chelsea both also understood to be keen on signing him this summer, but as Spurs attentions turn to their forward line, the Bournemouth star is in their sights, although they will have to spend big once more to sign him, with the Cherries demanding between £80million and £100million to sell him this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a deal to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali after he rejected a move to Manchester City.

Tottenham already delivered a huge bombshell on Tuesday evening when it was confirmed that they are set to beat Manchester United to the signing of West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, with a £85m agreement reached between the two clubs.

However, Spurs look set to break their transfer record again for the second time this week as they also close in on a big-money deal to prise Tonali away from St James' Park.

Should the Fernandes deal be completed, then Tonali would be their sixth signing of the summer after moves were also completed for Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka.

Having secured three of those players on free transfers, Spurs chiefs are now flexing their financial muscle with other additions, and they are far from finished even if the Fernandes and Tonali deals do get over the line.

Attentions could turn to strengthening their attack next, with one suggestion that they could also look to add two new wingers and a centre-forward to the squad, should one of Richarlison or Dominic Solanke depart.

Tottenham Deal to Sign Sandro Tonali Imminent

According to a top Tottenham source on X, Spurs are now closing in on the addition of Tonali in a deal that will send shockwaves across the Premier League.

Manchester City may already be on the verge of landing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in a deal worth £115m upfront, but they also want to land a second central midfielder and had interest in the 'world-class' Tonali.

However, it is reported that the Italy international has rejected joining the Premier League runners-up in favour of linking up with De Zerbi at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as they look to bounce back from successive 17th-place finishes.

Lucas Bergvall Set to Stay at Tottenham

While Tottenham have been busy with incomings, it was reported last week that Lucas Bergvall has also communicated to the club that he wants to explore opportunities away from the club.

The Sweden international, whose nation were knocked out of the World Cup by France on Tuesday night, found his first-team opportunities limited under De Zerbi at the end of last season, with the Italian favouring experience in his bid to keep Spurs out of the Championship.

Now, the interest in signing both Fernandes and Tonali has seen Bergvall fear for minutes even more at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he is keen to seek an exit.

However, according to reliable Football London correspondent Alasdair Gold, Tottenham have informed Bergvall that he isn't for sale and told him he has a big role to play at the club still, even if the two signings go through.

There will certainly be stiff competition in the Spurs midfield, with Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Conor Gallagher, Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray also all still at the club.

Tottenham are closing in on yet another deal, and reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that a player is currently undergoing a medical at Hotspur Way.

Spurs have been incredibly active in the summer transfer window so far, bringing in Jan-Paul Van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson to strengthen their defence.

Tottenham later confirmed the signing of Martin Dubravka, who joins the club as a back-up goalkeeper for Antonin Kinsky.

Tottenham certainly aren't done there, though, and they are currently working on multiple deals to strengthen their squad.

The North London outfit are looking to prioritise strengthening their midfield options, and they are now closing in on their first addition in the middle of the park.

Tottenham: Player Undergoing Medical

According to Romano on his Instagram, West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes is currently having a medical at Hotspur Way ahead of a move to North London.

Reports emerged earlier this week that Tottenham had beaten Manchester United in the race to secure Fernandes' signature, sealing a deal in the region of £85 million.

Spurs offered a better deal for the Portuguese man, with the £85m coming in guaranteed funds rather than add-ons.

With a deal agreed, Fernandes has now travelled to Tottenham to undergo a medical, and it looks as though he could be the fifth signing of Spurs' summer transfer window.

It's certainly a lot of money for a player who moved for around half that last summer, but Roberto De Zerbi's side aren't messing around.

Tottenham Pushing for Tonali

Next on the list for Tottenham is looking likely to be Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.

According to a report from the BBC, Tottenham now expect Tonali to join the club in the summer transfer window, and they are advancing in their efforts to secure his signature.

Despite bringing in Fernandes, Tottenham are still pursuing a deal for Tonali as they look to completely revamp their midfield in the summer transfer window.

How their midfield is going to shape up next season remains to be seen, but De Zerbi is clearly looking to overhaul his current squad.

Newcastle United have submitted an official offer to sign a Tottenham star in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

We could see a host of Tottenham players leave the club this summer, considering they are looking to bring in so many reinforcements, and Newcastle are one of the sides looking to take advantage.

The Magpies need plenty of additions themselves after such a disappointing season in the Premier League, which saw them finish in the bottom half and fail to qualify for Europe.

Tottenham are pushing to sign Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, meaning the Magpies may need to find themselves a midfielder.

It will be interesting to discover whether Newcastle and Tottenham can figure out some kind of swap deal, but Spurs have rejected their initial bid.

Newcastle Make Offer for Tottenham Star

According to Romano, Newcastle have submitted an offer to sign Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray, and Spurs have already made their position clear.

No agreement has been reached with Tottenham, rejecting the bid, but the Magpies remain interested in securing his signature.

Gray, described as a future £100m player by Como scout Ben Mattinson, could find himself falling down the pecking order with Tottenham targeting midfielders this summer.

If Newcastle were willing to sanction a deal for Tonali to join Tottenham, it'll be interesting to see if their failed attempt to sign Gray impacts their stance.

Gray Has Decision to Make This Summer

Gray has a big decision to make when it comes to his future in the summer transfer window, with Spurs pushing to sign multiple midfielders.

As previously mentioned, Tonali is a target for Tottenham, while they have also agreed a deal to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

Gray has already found it difficult to nail down a starting role at Tottenham, and it is going to be even trickier when their new potential arrivals join the club.

As it stands, Tottenham don't appear to be too keen on allowing Gray to leave, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he was considering a departure in the near future.
