Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has found himself at the center of attention from three Premier League giants.
Details: According to The Sun, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea are all in the hunt for Sandro Tonali. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, in particular, is a huge admirer of Tonali's talent and is showing the most interest. The Spanish manager dreams of creating a dominant partnership in midfield by pairing the Italian with Declan Rice.
Reports suggest Arsenal were ready to consider a transfer move on the final day of the winter window, but no concrete offer materialized.
The competition isn't far behind: Pep Guardiola has also been tracking Tonali's performances for some time, seeing him as a potential boost for Manchester City, while Chelsea continue to closely monitor the situation around the player.
Despite such strong interest from top clubs, the player himself is in no rush to leave St. James' Park.
This season, Tonali has made 35 appearances for Newcastle in all competitions, providing 5 assists. Transfermarkt values him at €75 million.
Reminder: It has become known why Chelsea defender Reece James did not play against Arsenal in the EFL Cup.
