In a recent report<\/a>, journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Liverpool<\/a> are in the running for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali. It is understood that the Reds would have to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City in the race to land the Italy international next summer.<\/p>\n

Tonali\u2019s Impressive Form In The Premier League<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tonali has enjoyed a decent campaign at the Tyneside club as he has put in a series of eye-catching performances for them at the centre of the park. The Italian talent has participated in 37 matches for the Reds this season, securing five assists in the process across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is currently among the best central midfielders in the Premier League<\/a>. Thus, Liverpool would do well to get a deal done for him this summer.<\/p>\n

His current contract at St. James\u2019 Park will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it difficult for the Reds to sign him on the cheap later this year.<\/p>\n

Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Snap Tonali Up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tonali is a good tackler of the ball and can read the danger well to secure the ball back for his side inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and is a tidy passer as well.<\/p>\n

The Italian talent can even create some meaningful openings for his teammates in the final third when he is playing regularly and with confidence on the field. However, Tonali has to find a way to add more goals to his game. Still, he has got a wealth of experience in the Premier League and won\u2019t take much time to settle into life at the Merseyside club.<\/p>\n

We can expect Tonali to bring more quality and depth to Liverpool boss Arne Slot\u2019s midfield department. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at Anfield in the coming years.<\/p>\n

At 25, Tonali has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Reds to pursue at the end of this campaign. All in all, Slot would be wise to go all out to snap him up later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
