Newcastle have completed a £55m deal for AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali.

Tonali has agreed a five-year contract at St James' Park and becomes Newcastle's first signing of the summer transfer window.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said: "He is an exceptional talent and has the mentality, physicality and technical attributes to be a great fit for us.

"At 23, Sandro already has important experience as a key player in one of Europe's top leagues and in the Champions League, as well as playing for his country.

"But he also has the opportunity and potential to grow and evolve with us, and I'm excited to add him to our squad as we approach the exciting season ahead."
