Sandro Tonali has vowed to produce an “intense and amazing season” with Newcastle United in the Champions League.
The Italian international flew to Tyneside this week after his £55m switch from AC Milan, and admitted it was a move he couldn’t turn down. Tonali, 23, was expected to be a long servant for his home town club, but says the opportunity to join Newcastle’s rebuild was a great challenge to take on.
Eddie Howe met his new midfielder on Friday and his signing will ease the burden on Brazil playmaker Bruno Guimaraes. Tonali says he wants to be part of a team that ends the Geordies’ domestic trophy drought that dates back to 1955.
