Arsenal are reportedly lining up a summer move for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali while confirming the signing of 16-year-old Daniel McCarron. Betting angle: expect odds to shorten on Tonali joining Arsenal and markets to push Newcastle as sellers; punters should watch transfer markets where Tonali’s price and Arsenal’s title odds may shift if the move gains traction.
Arsenal target Sandro Tonali as summer window approaches
Arsenal have been linked with Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and remain interested in a potential summer approach. The Gunners explored a late-window move in January after a midfield injury, but talks did not progress and Newcastle were unwilling to sanction a mid-season exit.
Why the move stalled in January
Attempts to revive negotiations in the closing hours of the January window failed as Newcastle prioritized squad stability. Tonali’s representatives reportedly promoted his availability, but the Magpies held firm against a mid-campaign sale.
Competition and contract leverage
Tonali is understood to be a target for multiple Premier League clubs, with interest also recorded from Manchester City and Chelsea. Newcastle’s bargaining position is strong: the Italy international is 25, tied to St James’ Park until June 2029 and the club hold a 12-month extension option, which will likely force suitors to pay a premium.
On-field profile: what Tonali brings
A key figure for Newcastle this season, Tonali has featured in all 25 Premier League games, making 22 starts. The combative, technically adept midfielder would bolster Arsenal’s central options, adding control and experience to a midfield already refreshed by recent signings.
Financial implications for Newcastle
An exit for Tonali would be another major sale for Newcastle after Alexander Isak’s high-profile transfer. Any departure would likely generate significant funds and trigger renewed transfer activity for the Magpies.
Arsenal confirm young defender Daniel McCarron
Arsenal have secured a pre-contract agreement with 16-year-old centre-back Daniel McCarron, who will join from Dungannon Swifts and link up with the club’s new scholars in July. Versatile at the back, McCarron’s arrival follows other youth additions earlier in the season, reinforcing Arsenal’s academy recruitment drive.
Other transfer noises
The club has also been linked with discussions over a high-profile Premier League striker amid reports of an agent change. Details remain unclear, but Arsenal appear active on multiple fronts ahead of the summer window.
Update: Arsenal will try again for midfielder this summer after failed January transfer
Arsenal could pursue a deal for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali after the season.
