“I’m excited because I think I am a new player, like a new transfer. I played eight games last season,” he said.
“It was so difficult for me to play eight games and then don’t play for ten months. I am excited to be here in Newcastle and not another place because there is a top team and top fans, and I can’t wait to go back on the pitch.”
Tonali is expected to be included in Italy’s squad for September games against France and Israel.
