Alan Shearer makes Sandro Tonali transfer prediction after Arsenal interestNewcastle star Sandro Tonali is being linked with a summer exit after Arsenal were offered him on deadline day and Alan Shearer thinks the Italian and others could leave the clubView 2 Images Alan Shearer thinks Newcastle could struggle to hang on to Sandro Tonali and other top stars in the summer (Image: Match of the Day)Alan Shearer has told Newcastle that they should expect to lose their top stars like Sandro Tonali in the summer if they fail to qualify for Europe next year. ‌The Magpies have endured a challenging campaign, though they are still alive and kicking in the Champions League. They are 11th in the Premier League, seven points off fifth-placed Chelsea, and were beaten in emphatic fashion by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday evening. ‌Transfer deadline day saw Tonali linked with a surprise move to Arsenal, although the midfielder's agent quickly attempted to cool such talk. Shearer, though, expects the likes of Tonali and Newcastle's other key players to attract interest in the summer if his old club are unable to offer Champions League or Europa League football next term.
