Newcastle finalize Sandro Tonali deal

Newcastle have finalized and confirmed the transfer of Sandro Tonali from AC Milan.

The 32-year-old Spaniard has endured a torrid time at Anfield with one injury after another, and the Merseysiders allowing him to leave as part of their midfield rebuild should certainly not be ruled out at this stage.
