Tottenham has officially announced the transfer of Sandro Tonali, brought in from Newcastle United in a move that sets a new record in the history of the London club.

The Italian midfielder joins Spurs for £92.5 million, a sum that could increase by another £7.5 million depending on certain bonuses.

The transfer surpasses the club's previous record of £85 million, paid for West Ham's midfielder, Mateus Fernandes, who was transferred at the beginning of this month.

Tonali's arrival continues a busy summer for Tottenham, which has already exceeded the £200 million mark spent, in an aggressive strategy shift after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.
