It will not be easy for Tottenham to bring Scott McTominay from Naples.
The British team talk reported on the 28th (Korean time) that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in recruiting the Napoli midfielder, with McTominay continuing to play after leaving Manchester United, the source said.'The source explained that Tottenham has a good interest in McTominay and is one of the teams that wants to return him to the Premier League.'
McTominay, who played for Manchester United, rose to international ranks after moving to Napoli. McTominay became a key player for Napoli manager Antonio Conte after his move to Napoli. He led Napoli to the championship immediately with his outstanding performance in Italy's Serie A. He won the Italian Serie A MVP award with 12 goals and 8 assists in the league. At the Ballon d'Or Awards in 2025, he ranked 18th. This season, he has continued his outstanding performance with four goals and one assist in 12 official games.
While McTominay is spending his life season, there is news that he may return to the Premier League (EPL). Team Talk is 'In England, Tottenham and Newcastle are leading the recruitment competition. Tottenham see McTominay, 28, as the right player to bring energy and vitality to the midfield, adding that according to officials close to McTominay's side, Barcelona also included him in the three-man list of candidates for midfield reinforcement next summer, with Barcelona, Tottenham and Newcastle showing interest in McTominay, but a January transfer is virtually impossible.
British Football Insider also dealt with Tottenham's recruitment of McTominay. The media reported on the 2nd that McTominay left Manchester United for Napoli in August 2024 and became an absolute supporter of the fans in Napoli. The rapid growth at Napoli has attracted interest from Tottenham, who want to reinforce their midfielders. It will not be easy for Tottenham to bring McTominay back from Napoli, but a transfer in football is largely due to financial factors, and Tottenham's Thomas Frank has enough finances in North London.
However, Peter O'Rourke, who is fluent in Tottenham's internal intelligence, said in Football Insider that `Napoli is unlikely to try to send McTominay out. He is currently a key player in the Napoli team. Especially with Kevin De Bruyne out injured. Napoli need to keep their best players. McTominay is definitely one of them. Napoli will not want to lose such an important player and weaken their power,' he said, insisting he would not sell McTominay at Napoli.
McTominay is currently the most expensive player in Naples and the most important player on the field. For Conte, who is solely aiming to win, McTominay is an absolutely necessary player. If Naples sells McTominay to any club under the current circumstances, it will suffer strong opposition from Napoli fans. This is because there is enough opportunity to win this season.
Football Insider said the only way to sign McTominay is by a huge amount of transfer money. However, since Tottenham is not a team that pays an unconventional transfer fee to bring in a specific player, rumors of a McTominay transfer may end at the stage of interest.
