Not only did they bounce back admirably on the pitch to beat Jose Mourinho&#8217;s Benfica 3-0, but they must also work hard off the pitch to allay concerns over Sandro Tonali&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>After secret negotiations with the Italian, the Magpies extended his contract until 2029 with an option for a further year. Sky Sports&#8217; Keith Downey reports that Tonali secretly agreed a deal during the illegal gambling ban to protect Newcastle financially in his absence.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle have rewarded the good faith they have shown during his suspension by signing Tonali&#8217;s contract until 2029. It was a huge relief for St James&#8217; Park, but even before news of the Italian&#8217;s new deal broke, fears were starting to grow that they could face a re-launch of Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n<p>All focus will now be on utilizing his new contract on the pitch. The 25-year-old is one of Eddie Howe&#8217;s most important players and the Magpies will need him up top to end their frustrating start to the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, now that his contract has been signed and sealed, Tyneside officials are reportedly looking to give the former AC Milan man an impressive midfield partner.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"newcastle-now-racing-to-sign-elliot-anderson\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newcastle_are_in_contention_to_sign_Elliott_Anderson\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Newcastle are in contention to sign Elliott Anderson<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As reported by iNews, Newcastle are rushing to re-sign Elliott Anderson in a bid to build on their secret deal with Tonali and create an impressive partnership in midfield under the radar.<\/p>\n<p>    But Anderson&#8217;s return to the club won&#8217;t come cheap. After selling the England international to Nottingham Forest in 2024 for around \u00a330m, Tricky Trees are now reported to have set his price tag at \u00a355m.<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder&#8217;s return is a certainty for Howe. The Newcastle manager still regrets having to let Anderson go amid his PSR troubles and recently took time to praise his progress at the City Ground.<\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-pullquote\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom pullquote\" id=\"custom_block_14\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content pullquote\">\n<p>&#8220;He was probably at a stage where he was desperate to play normal football and I couldn&#8217;t argue with that train of thought.
