Tottenham Hotspur are in positive talks with the camp of Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali over a potential summer move.
There has been no contact so far with Newcastle, but if an agreement looks possible with the player, club-to-club contact can be expected to follow. The transfer fee is considered a bigger challenge for Spurs than a deal with the player.
Tottenham are prepared to push hard for a statement signing, which is being driven by head coach Roberto De Zerbi and is backed by the ownership.
Tonali, 26, has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Manchester City but at this stage Spurs are most advanced over a proposed deal.
