The future of Sandro Tonali is up in the air, with his agent, Giuseppe Riso, speaking out about the midfielder's potential move to Arsenal FC. Riso clarifies that there were no talks with the Gunners, despite reports suggesting otherwise. He emphasizes that Newcastle United, Tonali's current club, has no plans to let him leave in January. However, Riso hints at a potential change in stance in March, depending on the club's decision. This comes as Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal FC, reveals their openness to a late transfer on Deadline Day if the right opportunity arises to replace the injured Merino. Arteta acknowledges the need to explore options, stating that they will do everything possible to find a suitable player, but also acknowledges the challenges of finding a player who can adapt and impact the team immediately.
