Newcastle confirm Sandro Tonali transfer to gift Arsenal £35m windfall boost

Newcastle United's move for AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali could inadvertently help secure Arsenal a significant transfer windfall.

As per the Guardian, the Magpies are pushing to complete the signing of Tonali during the summer transfer window, with a move expected to cost €70million (£60million) plus add-ons. That transfer has now been officially announced with Tonali signing a six-year contract at St James Park with the sale resulting in him becoming the most expensive Italian player in history.

The Serie A giants, along with rivals Inter Milan, Napoli and Premier League side Crystal Palace, have been heavily linked with a move for Gunners striker Folarin Balogun in recent times. Balogun is expected to leave the north London club on a permanent basis after his successful loan spell at Reims in France.
