Newcastle United CEO David Hopkinson has admitted he has ‘no idea’ whether or not the likes of Chelsea were presented with the chance to sign Sandro Tonali by the midfielder’s agent during the January transfer window.
CHELSEA were heavily linked with alot of players over the course of the January window, as many felt that the Blues needed to add an enforcer like Tonali to the midfield, and the Italian was a player that could have reportedly left Newcastle in the window.
In an interview with TalkSport, Hopkinson was asked whether there was any truth in stories claiming Tonali’s agent was behind this recent transfer speculation.
“I have no idea. That’s our answer,” he replied. “Eddie [Howe] got it right, he doesn’t know, I don’t know. Here’s what I do know: he’s a superstar player, he’s under contract here.
“He’s not the only player we had that other clubs would covet, so I think if we get a situation where people aren’t trying to muck about and sew some chaos into the marketplace in order to dislodge our players then we’ve got a real problem.
“Sandro has been a wonderful player, a smile’s on every day I see him, I believe he’s happy here and we’re certainly happy with him.”

Tonali could have left Newcastle in the winter window, and it would have been a massive loss for the Toon to lose such a massive player, especially as they wants to get back into the Champions LEAGUE for next season.
But we really cant see the club making a move for Tonali, that £100 million asking price may out the board off
