Eddie Howe insists Sandro Tonali has a future at Newcastle as the Italian midfielder awaits the outcome of an investigation into alleged breaches of betting rules.
“Sandro is fully engaging with the investigation and will continue to cooperate with all relevant authorities,” it said.“That’s not even been discussed because that’s a ‘yes’ on both sides,” he said. “Underneath that I’m sure there is lots going on. I’ll have to make a call but I have to bring it back to football and try to make the best decision for the team.”“It’s very easy to forget how young he is,” said the Newcastle boss. “He’s had changes in his life — coming from Italy to England. That is hard enough to deal with and now he has this situation.
“The main thing is to try and identify it as we always do and try to help them get to the best level on football pitch.”
