Italy coach Roberto Mancini says a Premier League move will be good for Sandro Tonali.

Tonali is leaving AC Milan for Newcastle United in an €80m deal.

Mancini says the sale of Tonali is bad for Serie A, but will be good for the player.

He explained: “On the one hand there's some regrets, if a player as good and young as Tonali leaves Italy it means there's some problems.

"On a technical level though, playing in the Premier League will serve Tonali well, it's good for him."
