Sandro Tonali has officially joined Tottenham in a record-breaking deal worth over €120 million, making him the highest-paid Italian player in football history.

The 2000-born midfielder, formerly of AC Milan and Newcastle, expressed his excitement about the move, citing the club's project and style of play as key factors.

Tonali revealed that he was convinced by Tottenham's coach after a nearly two-hour conversation about the club, fans, stadium, and playing style, which he described as 'magic'.

Having played against Tottenham multiple times, Tonali is familiar with the club's atmosphere and fans, and is looking forward to starting the new season.
