Tottenham have another reason to rethink the Sandro Tonali transfer

Tottenham Hotspur spent nearly 400 million pounds in the summer transfer window to back manager Roberto De Zerbi, highlighted by a record 100 million pound permanent transfer for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali. Despite showing defensive improvements after a slow start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign, Tonali's impact is facing scrutiny as Tottenham currently sit in last place in the Premier League table.

The article questions the 100 million pound valuation, pointing out that Tonali has not significantly outperformed midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur. It also highlights Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as a younger and significantly cheaper alternative Tottenham could have targeted to pair with Mateus Fernandes.
