Newcastle United are also interested in Scott McTominay. Newcastle considers him a player capable of complementing Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton. Both Tottenham and Newcastle are also monitoring McTominay’s situation.

TEAMtalk’s Fraser Fletcher has stated that Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in 28-year-old Scottish international Scott McTominay. A January transfer is considered difficult, and the situation would likely have to be assessed in the summer. The possibility of the midfielder returning to England has been a subject of focus. A report in The Sun claimed he was struggling with the attention he receives in Naples, although sources state this is not accurate. It is believed it would be a challenge to sign McTominay, who is under contract at Napoli until 2028. The central midfielder joined the Italian club on 30/08/2024. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €50.00m. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he has made 8 appearances, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist, and has 65 caps and 13 goals for Scotland.
