Arsenal have been named as Sandro Tonali’s most likely Premier League destination if the midfielder is sold by Newcastle United this summer.

Mikel Arteta’s side made an approach to sign Tonali in the closing stages of the January transfer window but Newcastle were quick to knock back the enquiry from the Premier League leaders.

Newcastle signed Tonali in a £55 million deal from AC Milan in 2023 and it’s understood that the club would now demand a fee in excess of £100m for the 25-year-old.

Sky Sport Italy’s Gianluca Di Marzio claims Arsenal will face strong competition from Juventus this summer but believes the Gunners will be in the driving seat if Tonali wants to remain in the Premier League.

‘I think that Tonali is likely to leave Newcastle because a lot of top European clubs want him. Juventus really wants him and he is the number one player on their list,’ Di Marzio told AceOdds.

‘Arsenal really wants him as well, but they didn’t really try to sign him in January, because it was simply impossible. There was no possibility that he could leave Newcastle in January.
