Arsenal ready to make fresh push to sign Newcastle star

Arsenal are prepared to make a fresh push to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali during the summer transfer window.

The Italy international was linked with the Gunners prior to the winter transfer window, but a deal never materialised in any form.

His agent had contacted the Gunners regarding a possible late transfer, but the Gunners decided against negotiating with the Magpies for the player.

Tuttosport now claim that the north London giants are prepared to make a fresh swoop for the 25-year-old when the transfer window reopens.

The same outlet cite that Manchester United are likewise keen on his services and there could be a bidding war between the two for his signature.

Newcastle have been adamant that Tonali won't be leaving but the midfielder could push for an exit at the end of the ongoing season.

It is claimed that a package of £87m could secure his potential exit. Juventus have also been linked, but are unlikely to afford him.
