Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are tracking the situation of Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay. The Scotland international has thrived since his move from Manchester United, producing an exceptional season in Italy with 13 goals in all competitions and playing a crucial role in Napoli’s title-winning campaign.
His impressive displays have seen him ranked among Europe’s top midfielders and even earn a Ballon d’Or nomination. With that form, it’s no surprise Premier League sides such as Spurs and Newcastle are weighing up a move to bring him back to England, while Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked.
Why McTominay fits Spurs
Tottenham are searching for more intensity and creativity in midfield, and McTominay could be an ideal solution. Now 29, he boasts vast Premier League experience and could make an instant impact. A return to England may also appeal to him, with unfinished business in the league potentially making a move to North London tempting. However, Calciomercato reports that although McTominay is hugely popular in Naples, the level of attention has become overwhelming, which could sway his thinking if a Premier League opportunity arises.
Newcastle also keen
Newcastle, for their part, are looking to strengthen and add depth in central midfield after leaning heavily on Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali. McTominay would bring balance, physicality, and experience to their engine room.
Napoli are not expected to let the midfielder leave on the cheap. As a central figure in their squad, his departure would be a major blow, meaning any potential sale would likely require a sizeable offer. That said, if either Tottenham or Newcastle can reach an agreement, McTominay would be a huge addition for both clubs.
