Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing Sandro Tonali, the Newcastle United midfielder, as they prepare for the summer transfer window. The club had expressed interest in Tonali back in January and is keeping a close eye on his situation at St James’ Park. With Manchester United also linked to the Italy international, Arsenal faces competition for his signature. The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their midfield options under manager Michael Carrick, who has already secured a deal for Ederson from Atalanta. However, interest in Tonali has been waning due to his hefty price tag of around £100 million.

Chelsea's former manager Roberto Di Matteo has urged the club to enter the race for Tonali, especially if Enzo Fernandez leaves for a summer move. Di Matteo views Tonali as a perfect fit for Chelsea, emphasizing his quality and potential impact on the squad. He believes that Chelsea's priorities should focus on bringing in experienced players to support their young talent, particularly after a tumultuous season that saw them finish in 10th place in the Premier League.

As Arsenal navigates the transfer market, securing a player of Tonali's caliber could significantly enhance their midfield options. The club's interest in him highlights their ambition to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season. Fans will be eager to see how this transfer saga unfolds and whether Arsenal can successfully land the talented midfielder amidst stiff competition from other clubs.
