Tottenham Hotspur have agreed terms with Newcastle United to sign Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali in a deal valued at £92.5 million, with potential add-ons linked to Champions League qualification raising the total fee to £100 million. Tonali is set to sign a six-year contract with Spurs, having already agreed personal terms reportedly worth around £275,000 per week.

The transfer negotiations escalated as Tottenham look to strengthen their midfield under manager Roberto De Zerbi. This move follows the club’s recent agreement to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United for £85 million. In parallel, Tottenham have accepted a £50 million bid from Brighton & Hove Albion for 19-year-old Croatian centre back Luka Vuskovic, signaling a reshaping of the squad.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest is poised to appoint Oliver Glasner as their new manager following the dismissal of Vitor Pereira. Pereira, who was Forest’s fourth manager last season, succeeded in securing the club’s Premier League status but has now been relieved of his duties. Glasner, formerly a coach at Crystal Palace, has emerged as the leading candidate to take charge of Forest.

The potential hiring of Glasner has reportedly caused frustration among officials at Crystal Palace due to lingering tensions between the two clubs. This rivalry intensified after Forest replaced Palace in qualification for the Europa League, following a UEFA ruling that prevented Palace and Lyon—clubs linked through businessman John Textor—from competing in the same tournament.

Upon his departure, Pereira expressed his disappointment, stating, “Naturally, I am disappointed and saddened. I truly believed in what we were building and I leave with a sense of pride.” Nottingham Forest is now expected to finalize Glasner’s appointment as they prepare for the challenges of the upcoming season.
