Tottenham Hotspur are poised to set a new transfer record for the second time this week after finalizing a deal with Newcastle United for midfielder Sandro Tonali, valued at up to £100 million.

Record-Breaking Transfer

The North London club previously had an offer of approximately £80 million turned down by Newcastle. However, they have now agreed to pay an initial £92.5 million, with an additional £7.5 million contingent on performance-related add-ons.

Manager's Longstanding Interest

Manager Roberto de Zerbi has been a long-time admirer of Tonali, having identified him as a target during his tenure at Sassuolo when the Italian international was competing in Serie A. This deal will surpass the £85 million agreement reached with West Ham earlier this week for midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

As Tottenham fans await the official announcement, the excitement surrounding this significant acquisition continues to grow.
