Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has finally broken his silence on the shock deadline day reports linking Sandro Tonali with a move to Arsenal. The Magpies boss faced uncomfortable questions on Tuesday regarding whether the sudden speculation signals the start of a destabilising campaign, drawing parallels to the long-running saga that ultimately saw Alexander Isak leave St James’ Park for Liverpool last summer.

Sandro Tonali's agent has opened up on the midfielder's future amid talk of interest from Arsenal and Juventus. Beppe Riso has denied reports that he offered the Italy international to the Gunners on deadline day but says he will evaluate the midfielder's future later in the season and whether Newcastle "are open to anything." Tonali is contracted to the Magpies until 2029.

Sandro Tonali has generated talk of interest from Arsenal on transfer deadline day, but surprising reports have been quickly shot down. The Gunners are said to be in the market for midfield reinforcements after losing Mikel Merino to injury. Italy international Tonali would be a Premier League-proven option, but he is unlikely to leave St James’ Park.

Arsenal are reported to have asked about a stunning deadline day deal for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Gunners have lost Mikel Merino to an untimely injury, with Mikel Arteta eager to ensure that he is not left short on options in an ongoing Premier League title bid. Italy international Tonali would be another proven addition to the ranks at Emirates Stadium.

Sandro Tonali wants to stay at Newcastle for the long term after being supported through his ban for gambling.
