Tottenham Hotspur have now confirmed the record-breaking £100m signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United, making him their sixth signing of the summer.
It has been an eventful summer transfer window so far for Tottenham Hotspur as they continue to back Roberto De Zerbi following his heroics last season, where he helped keep Spurs in the Premier League.
Since securing survival, De Zerbi has called for his side to be improved, stating that he believes that Tottenham have at least 10-12 players he can build around.
Spurs have wasted no time in handing the Italian the players he needs this summer transfer window, with five new signings now through the door.
The defence has been adequately bolstered, with the likes of Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka.
Tottenham confirm Sandro Tonali signing
Tottenham have now turned to their midfield and secured the marquee signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United.
The 26-year-old has long been on the radar of the Lilywhites throughout the summer transfer window. Reports suggest that Spurs have paid a mammoth fee in the region of £100 million (€118m) to land the Italian from the Magpies.
Tonali now becomes the sixth signing for Tottenham, joining after the Lilywhites completed a deal for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
With £100 million splashed, Tonali now stands as Spurs’ record signing in a transfer window.
Spurs are showing no signs of slowing down in the transfer window
Many Tottenham fans have expressed their delight at the ambition being shown by their club this summer transfer window.
However, Spurs are not stopping with the acquisition of Tonali, with reports claiming that Tottenham are working to complete more signings at the top end of the pitch.
Bournemouth’s Eli Kroupi has been named amongst those on the shortlist of the Lilywhites, while Savinho and Crysencio Summerville are amongst the wide forwards being considered by Tottenham.
