The transfer was officially announced on Monday morning, following an agreement between the two Premier League rivals that was finalised last Wednesday. Tonali, aged 26, expressed his delight at joining Tottenham, citing a compelling conversation with head coach Roberto De Zerbi and the club's fan atmosphere as key reasons for his decision. This acquisition is part of Tottenham's significant summer spending, which has now reached £237 million, and is viewed as a statement signing to complete the club's midfield revamp.
