Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly reached an agreement to land Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali for a club-record package.
The north London giants have been busy since the end of the campaign and have already signed Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke.
They recently sealed an agreement to land West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who was a prime transfer target for the Red Devils.
David Ornstein now confirms that Spurs have reached an agreement to land Tonali for £92.5m upfront, with a further £7.5m in bonuses.
United were also keen admirers of the Italy international, but they did not make a genuine effort to sign him due to the finances involved.
Tottenham have now signed two marquee midfielders, and they seem to be aiming high, with Champions League qualification being a target.
New manager Roberto De Zerbi has been heavily backed in the transfer market and the pressure will be on him to produce results next term.
