Newcastle are set to face Sheffield United this Sunday in pursuit of a crucial three points to boost their position in the Premier League standings.
Eddie Howe's team has had its share of disappointments during the 2023/24 season. Still, a recent victory against Brentford and a midweek draw in the Champions League against AC Milan have demonstrated their ability to grind out results when needed, offering confidence to the manager.
One player who has the potential to become a game-changing asset for Newcastle, given time, is Sandro Tonali. Recently, the Italian midfielder received support from his manager in a press conference, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano fully backs Howe's stance.
"Sandro Tonali is a fantastic midfielder and a top professional. I agree with Eddie Howe: the Newcastle fans need to be patient with him. He’s only 23 years of age and is living in a new city, has a new life in a new country… and is playing in a new league". he wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside Substack.
"Tonali has superb skills, and he just needs to adapt to his new surroundings and a different style of football and he’ll perform. I’m sure about that, he’s a great player."
