Tottenham are on the verge of shattering their own transfer record for the second time in just a matter of days, after agreeing a deal worth up to £100 million to bring Sandro Tonali to north London from Newcastle United, sources have told ESPN.

The agreement signals an extraordinary window of spending from Tottenham, who are moving swiftly and decisively in the transfer market this summer. Securing Tonali would represent one of the most significant signings in the club's history.

Tonali, the Italy international midfielder, spent the 2023–24 season at Newcastle United after joining from AC Milan. The deal with Newcastle United would send the highly rated midfielder to Tottenham in a move that underlines the ambition driving the club's recruitment strategy.

The fee of up to £100 million would eclipse the previous record Tottenham had set only days earlier, reflecting the scale of investment the club's ownership is prepared to commit to strengthening the squad.
