Chelsea could go head-to-head with Arsenal to land Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali at the end of the season, according to The Sun.
The Italy international was linked with a deadline day move to the Gunners yesterday, but nothing materialised beyond the early speculation.
Tonali’s agent personally spoke with Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta, but the Magpies made it clear that they would not entertain any bids.
The former AC Milan man remains happy at the Magpies, but could eye a new challenge if they don’t qualify for the Champions League again.
Arsenal could make a formal move at the end of the campaign, but they won’t be alone with Chelsea also among the interested clubs in him.
The Blues are eyeing another marquee midfielder to complement Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. Tonali is viewed as the ideal signing.
Newcastle are not contemplating his summer exit, but reports claim that a package of around £100 million could persuade them into a sale.
