Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has encouraged his old side to rival Arsenal for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Italian has been linked with a deadline day move to the Emirates Stadium.
*LIVERPOOL*spent some crazy money in the last transfer window and many people expected Liverpool to be a force this season, but those signings have not really made the impact that Arne Slot would have liked.
The transfer window has been open for a few weeks now, and although it is not certain if LIVERPOOL will make any moves this month, there has been alot of speculation about players that could make the move in the future, and Tonali is a player linked with Merseyside.
Now with reports that Arsenal are looking to sign Sandro Tonali this January, Pennant has opened up and told Liverpool that they should try and sign the Italian enforcer ahead of the Premier League leaders.
He exclusively told the ECHO: “Newcastle are absolutely in no rush to sell. If they want him, Newcastle are going to charge over the odds. You’re looking at £80million minimum to try and get him and I don’t think that’s what you pay for a stop-gap.
“You don’t pay those kind of fees for someone just to fill in because someone’s injured. If you want him that bad then, he’s worth that because he’s a fantastic player, you can see what he’s done for Newcastle.
“I would like LIVERPOOL maybe to go in for him, play him as that number six or anyway, it will be a nice little addition, but yeah, I don’t think Arsenal or Newcastle will be doing business with Tonali.
IcFootballnews Says…
It would be a shock to see LIVERPOOL actually make a move for the man on deadline day, especially as they have a number of players in that midfield area already under Arne Slot.
But there is no doubt that he is a quality player that is ready for that next step in his career, and the fact that he has two of the biggest clubs in the Premier Legaue chasing him shows just how quality he really is.
Arsenal will be very lucky to get Tonali as we cant see Liverpool making the move.
