The jaw-dropping sum represents a record-breaking financial commitment for Tottenham, surpassing the previous record benchmarks set by rival English top-flight moves.

It also secures Newcastle a massive profit on the player they initially brought to the Premier League from AC Milan in 2023.

Spurs are building an incredible team under Roberto De Zerbi

The jaw-dropping £100 million agreement for Sandro Tonali is the latest statement of intent in what is fast becoming a transformational summer window for Tottenham.

Driven by the ambition of head coach Roberto De Zerbi, the club’s hierarchy has completely dismantled its old financial restraints to fund a ruthless squad overhaul following consecutive 17th-place Premier League finishes.

Before the Tonali breakthrough, Tottenham won a fierce multi-club race for West Ham United’s star midfielder, Mateus Fernandes, in a deal worth £85m.

While the marquee midfield signings are grabbing the headlines, De Zerbi has been equally aggressive in restructuring a defensive unit that was heavily criticized last season.

De Zerbi raided his former club Brighton to secure the highly-rated Dutch centre-back, Jan Paul van Hecke for £52m.

Spurs have also signed Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka on free transfer, showcasing some shrewd business to add experience and quality in the team.
