Sandro Tonali got through Italy's Under-21 clash with France unscathed last night in the European Championships in Romania.
The 23-year-old played the full 90 minutes with Newcastle United duo Dan Ashworth and Steve Nickson trying to push his move to St James' Park through. Tonali has agreed personal terms and the final touches to the deal were being rounded off yesterday with both clubs keen to make an announcement upon agreement.
The player's agent Guiseppe Riso is due in Romania today for the next part of the transfer. Things are moving quickly for the Milan hero but he may soon have a new adoring public.
