“Making a fool of himself at Tottenham” – Shots fired at Spurs summer arrival by gobby pundit

Pundit Antonio Cassano has strongly criticized Sandro Tonali, claiming the midfielder is "making a fool of himself at Tottenham" after being included in Roberto Mancini's Italy squad. Speaking on Viva El Futbol, the former Italy striker argued that Frosinone midfielder Giacomo Calo deserved a national team call-up ahead of Tonali and Fiorentina's Nicolo Fagioli.

Sport Witness writer Kaustubh Pandey argues that Cassano's assessment is overly harsh, noting Tonali has featured 10 times in the Premier League under manager Roberto De Zerbi. The article highlights that Calo and Tonali play distinctly different roles and could easily operate together rather than competing directly for selection.
