- Tonali signed from AC Milan for £60m
- Midfielder scored in Newcastle debut
- 23-year-old spotted in local Wetherspoons
WHAT HAPPENED? Tonali swapped AC Milan for Newcastle in July for a reported £60 million ($76.2m) and hit the ground running after scoring in his side's 5-1 thrashing of Aston Villa at the weekend. Following the victory, the 23-year-old was spotted at a nearby Wetherspoons, The Job Bulman pub in Gosforth - where he even reserved a table. This has gone down very well with the Magpies' fans.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Newcastle's thumping victory will have sent a message to the rest of the Premier League, that they are here to compete up the top of the table once again this season. Eddie Howe's men have a dangerous mix of power, pace, and skill and they could be a threat for anyone in 2023-24.
WHAT NEXT? Newcastle travel to defending league champions Manchester City this weekend in what could be a titanic clash between the two teams.
