Sandro Tonali has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent days.
The Newcastle United star is among the best midfielders in the Premier League, and he is destined to move to a bigger club sooner or later.
On transfer deadline day, David Ornstein revealed that Tonali’s agents had offered him to Arsenal, but it was too late to complete a deal.
Now, a few new details have emerged.

Sandro Tonali’s preferred club amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea
Sandro Tonali is likely to be one of the biggest names in the summer transfer window.
The midfielder seems to be eyeing a move away from Newcastle United, and as we saw with Alexander Isak last summer, players usually get their wish.
Multiple reports have already revealed that Tonali was offered to Arsenal on deadline day, but Football Transfers have now shared a brand new detail.
The outlet has revealed that it was Tonali himself who instructed his agent to propose a transfer to Arsenal following Mikel Merino’s injury.
Nothing materialised on deadline day, but the report claims that a summer transfer for the Italy international is very much on the cards.
Manchester City and Chelsea have also been linked with a move to sign Tonali recently, but it has been revealed that the player’s preference is to join Arsenal.
The Gunners are also said to be keen on signing him and are ‘very likely to pursue a deal this summer’.

Sandro Tonali’s Arsenal audition could happen soon
Everyone who has watched Tonali play knows he is an incredible footballer.
The Italian is excellent on the ball, has a great range of passing, and he can score brilliant goals as well. He has been so good that some have compared him to the great Andrea Pirlo.
It’s still too early to say what Arsenal will do in the summer, but Tonali will have the opportunity to make up Mikel Arteta’s mind.
In the last week of April, Newcastle will travel to the Emirates to take on the Gunners, and that could be Tonali’s audition.
If he has a good game, that could convince the decision-makers at Arsenal to sign him in the summer.
