Arsenal have ramped up their efforts to secure the signature of Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Gunners’ boss, Mikel Arteta, views the Italian midfielder as crucial backup for a demanding season that could see his side contest approximately 60 matches once again.
With Newcastle failing to qualify for European competition, Tonali might seek an exit from St James’ Park this window to maintain his status at the highest level. The north London outfit faces stiff competition from Manchester United, who are also monitoring the player’s situation closely.
In another development, The Sun reports that Fulham’s Antonee Robinson has emerged as a target for Manchester United this summer. Red Devils manager Michael Carrick is eager to strengthen his left-back options, as Luke Shaw currently stands as the sole specialist in that role following Tyrell Malacia’s departure from Old Trafford.
While Lewis Hall remains on United’s radar, Robinson could represent a more economical solution for Carrick’s squad. The American international’s potential arrival would provide depth and competition in a position that has been a weak link for the club.
