Newcastle target Sandro Tonali road to the San Siro was long and arduous
But despite this, he still lit up youth football and was said to have scored 100 goals during one season.After Milan rejected him, the 23-year-old signed for Brescia's academy and progressed through the ranks.
During the 2018/19 season, Tonali dragged Brescia to promotion and won Serie B's Young Player of the Year award.Brescia only managed one season in Italy's top flight, but Tonali did enough to convince Milan they had made a mistake, and the Italian international joined initially on loan before the deal was made permanent in 2021.
“He has everything to be a champion but he is more a midfielder for a two-man midfield. He could already play for a great team; he is the best in this league.”Speaking to the Italian media while at Brescia,: "The Pirlo comparisons started because of that haircut. They don't bother me, but they are not suitable.
Tonali has made a good start in his bid to match Pirlo, with 14 senior appearances for the Italian national team and a Serie A title under his belt.Sales of new Arsenal kit stopped after fans spot design blunder that left them unimpressed
