Tottenham Hotspur has officially announced the signing of Sandro Tonali, pending a work permit. The 26-year-old midfielder, who represents Italy internationally, joins the club from Newcastle United.

Tonali's Excitement for the Move

Upon his arrival, Sandro expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "I'm very happy to be here. When I arrived at the Club today, it felt fantastic. People said about there being four or five clubs - there was only one." He highlighted a lengthy conversation with the Head Coach, which lasted nearly two hours, discussing various aspects of the club, including the fans and the stadium. Tonali added, "It was like magic because I knew immediately that I had to sign for Tottenham."

Club's Praise for Tonali

Sporting Director Johan Lange shared his excitement about the signing, describing Tonali as "one of the best midfielders in Europe." He emphasized the player's technical skills and football intelligence, noting that Tonali possesses the character to excel in high-pressure situations. Lange expressed confidence that the supporters would appreciate Tonali's energy and commitment on the pitch.

Head Coach Roberto De Zerbi also praised the new signing, calling him "a special player and a great signing for our Club." De Zerbi, who has followed Tonali since his youth career at Brescia, acknowledged the interest in the midfielder during the summer transfer window but noted Tonali's clear desire to join Tottenham.

Tonali's Journey to Tottenham

Tonali's career began in Lombardy, Italy, where he played for Lombardia Uno and Piacenza before joining Brescia in 2012. He made his professional debut with Brescia in August 2017, earning the Player of the Season award in his debut campaign and again the following year, contributing significantly to the club's promotion to Serie A in 2018/19. After three successful seasons and 89 appearances for Brescia, Tonali moved to AC Milan on loan in September 2020, where he became an integral part of the squad and experienced European competition.

As Tonali prepares to don the famous Lilywhite shirt, both the club and fans are eager to see what he will bring to Tottenham this season.
