Arsenal have stepped up their bid to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is understood to see Tonali as vital squad depth with the Gunners expected to play around 60 games again next season.
However, Newcastle United’s lack of European football means Tonali could push to leave St James’ Park this summer.
Arsenal will have to battle Manchester United for the Italy international’s signature as the Red Devils are also keeping tabs on the player.
Meanwhile, in another development, Fulham star Antonee Robinson has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, The Sun reports.
Man United manager Michael Carrick is keen to bolster his options at left-back, with Luke Shaw his only option in that position at the moment.
This comes after the departure of Tyrell Malacia from Old Trafford.
The report added that Lewis Hall is another name on Man United’s radar, but Robinson could be a cheaper alternative for Carrick’s side.
