Tonali under investigation for illegal betting

[Brin]

The Newcastle board will be up in arms at this news. Having splashed out a whopping £55 Million on Sandro Tonali, he's now been dropped by the Italian Football federation for alleged illegal betting.

Although he's a slip of a lad at only 23 years of age, how the heck did he get himself into such a mess? You would think he's got plans for buying his own property, nice car(s), a quality wardrobe of clothes etc yet he gets into gambling. What kind of wage is he on?

I've said it far too long that players are massively overpaid and the younger end haven't got a clue how to control themselves once they are awash with money.

I suppose someone will ask the question just how much Milan knew of his background before swiftly agreeing a fee with Newcastle back in July. Going by the current trend, he can expect a lengthy ban if found guilty. If he is, would his ban apply to the English League or just European if imposed by the Italian Federation?
