Aug 15 (Reuters) - Newcastle United fans have embraced Italian signing Sandro Tonali with the chant he "drinks Moretti, eats spaghetti"; and they may be on to something, given he was seen dining at a budget chain pub after scoring on his debut.
Newcastle's Chronicle newspaper reported that the 23-year-old walked into a Wetherspoons pub in Gosforth on Monday night after a booking was made in his name.
The menu at the Gosforth Wetherspoons features items such as pasta Alfredo with an alcoholic drink for 10.37 pounds ($13.17), mixed grill with drink for 12.91 pounds or pizza margherita and drink for 9.82 pounds.
"He might put in a transfer request the minute his food arrives," said another.
