Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon believes the Magpies have made a statement signing by securing AC Milan star Sandro Tonali. The Italian midfielder is poised to complete his Tyneside switch in the coming days after agreeing a six-year deal at St James' Park.
Tonali's Italy U21 side suffered a shock group stage exit at the European Championships last week, accelerating the player's Newcastle transfer. Gordon remains with England U21s as Lee Carsley's men go deep in the competition.
Speaking on international duty, the Newcastle forward was quizzed over the impending arrival of Tonali and admits a deal of this magnitude shows the direction Eddie Howe's side are travelling.
