Newcastle United Hub
Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali would prefer joining Arsenal ahead of Tottenham Hotspur. According to Telegraph journalist and Magpies insider Luke Edwards, Tonali favors the Gunners.
What happened?
Tottenham Hotspur has offered £75 million for the Newcastle star, but the Magpies insist on getting something close to £100m.
Why it matters for Newcastle United
The transfer saga comes as Newcastle United sits 12th in the Premier League, with 49 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LWDWL. The team has scored 53 goals and conceded 55, resulting in a -2 goal difference.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| League standing | 12th |
| Points | 49 |
| Goal difference | -2 |
What comes next?
Arsenal is looking elsewhere, preferring Tonali's teammate Bruno Guimaraes instead. Tottenham, on the other hand, has signed several players, including Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Marcos Senesi, and has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with West Ham United for Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
As of June 25, 2026, Newcastle United is 36 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race. The Magpies will hope to strengthen their squad to close the gap. With Tonali's potential departure, Newcastle United may need to find a suitable replacement to maintain their position in the Premier League.
