Simon Jordan has reacted bullishly to reports that Tottenham Hotspur are pushing ahead with an audacious move for Sandro Tonali.Reports indicate that Spurs are willing to shatter their transfer record to land Tonali, which is the sort of ambition that the Tottenham fans have been wanting the club to show for a long time.It has been revealed that Tonali’s relationship with De Zerbi has opened the door for Spurs, with several sources claiming that the Lilywhites have held positive talks with the Newcastle midfielder.It has even been suggested by some sources that Spurs have an advantage in the race for Tonali over other suitors thanks to his link with Roberto De Zerbi.Most recently, Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Newcastle want €85m (£74m) for Tonali, while Tottenham have put forward an offer worth around €75m (£65m). Spurs and Newcastle are said to now be in club-to-club talks, as confirmed by David Ornstein.Photo by Alex Dodd – CameraSport via Getty ImagesSimon Jordan expects repeat of Eberechi Eze embarrassment for SpursSome pundits have asked why Tonali would go to Spurs, suggesting that it would be a step down for the Italy international from Newcastle.Simon Jordan concurs with that assessment, predicting that the 26-year-old will not agree a move to Tottenham, and backing Arsenal to win the race for the former AC Milan man.When asked about Spurs holding talks with Tonali, Jordan told talkSPORT: “They can talk to Ferenc Puskas for a meeting if they want, but they’re not going to sign Tonali. He’s not going to sign for Tottenham.“Because I doubt that he will see an upward move being Tottenham Hotspur – given that he’s been at Newcastle; given that the expectation of Newcastle was far greater than ultimately he possibly signed on for.“The expectation was that the ownership would have pushed harder and higher. There are expectations of him going to [much] bigger clubs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up at Arsenal and the same thing happens to Spurs [that happened] with Eberechi Eze.”Arsenal and Man City could challenge Tottenham for Sandro TonaliIt was reported a couple of days ago by The Telegraph that Newcastle still believe that Tonali is more likely to end up at Arsenal than Spurs.In fact, the publication explained that the feeling at St James Park is that Tottenham’s interest in the midfielder is being used to accelerate moves from the 26-year-old’s other suitors.Additionally, it has also emerged that Man City are now seriously considering signing both Tonali and Elliot Anderson as they look to rebuild their midfield ahead of Enzo Maresca’s first season in charge.READ MORE: Juventus sold player for £22m in 2023, now they want to sign him back from TottenhamThe post ‘Sandro Tonali is not going to sign for Tottenham’ – Simon Jordan says Spurs are not a step up appeared first on Spurs Web.
