Sandro Tonali

He came back a couple of weeks before that - the West Ham game was his comeback from the bench, then Burnley and Dortmund before the Frankfurt game....

Dortmund was his first start.

Yes you're right it was the Dortmund game he came back for in his first start post injury. He scored 4 in 6 from that point under Frank.

I do think he will need upgrading but don't see it as an urgent one looking at the overall picture. With the upgrades in midfield and hopefully another winger too along with some returns from injury and the way RDZ plays, I think we will create more and Solanke will score a decent amount....

I feel if we sign Tonali we should then go and sign Nmecha to really solidify our midfield as the best in the prem.

If we get Tonali and Fernandes to go alongside Kudus, Kulusevski, Simons, Maddison, Bentancur, Gallagher and Gray (omitting Odobert, Bergvall and Moore for now) with maybe Savinho to come in, that doesn't seem too shabby

Neither are donkeys. Richi has been somewhat injury prone but his goals per 90 at Spurs has been ok, Solanke did well for Ange but was horribly unsuited to Frank’s horseshoe ball, set piece goal dependent system.

I think Solanke will do pretty well in De Zerbi’s high press, early pass through the centre system.

Solanke scored little under Ange and offered even less goal threat. He barely got into striking positions or got shots off in the Ange era. As mentioned he was barely fit under Frank so I guess you could arguably not really judge that period but the Ange time is fair game.
