Newcastle United's newest addition Sandro Tonali admits he had a 'positive' experience on Tyneside after jetting to his new club for the first time. The midfielder, 23, touched down at Newcastle Airport on Wednesday but is already back in Milan as he prepares for a short holiday after his Italy under-21 exploits.
Tonali was whisked around the north east in recent days, stopping for photos with fans, viewing a potential new home and getting his first taste of the training ground and stadium he will now ply his trade at. The player, flanked by his partner and agent, was also snapped in the famous black and white shirt before flying back to his native country.
“The first impressions are positive," said Tonali as he landed back in Milan. "I met the people who wanted me at all costs, and who can’t wait to work with me."
