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.
