Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay.
The Scottish International has done quite well since joining the Italian club, and he is currently one of the most effective midfielders in European football. He scored 13 goals last season and has found the back of the net four times this season so far.
Scott McTominay open to Premier League move
Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and they have made contact with his representatives over a potential move. The player is open to returning to the Premier League if the project is right. Sources have informed TEAMtalk that he has a soft corner for the Premier League.
“Scott’s heart still beats for the Premier League. But it has to be right – the right club, the right project, the right role. He’s not chasing a paycheque; he’s building a legacy.”
McTominay will add work rate, drive and goals from the middle of the park. Tottenham are lacking someone with his skill set, and he could add a new dimension to the team. The player is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact.
He has played in the Premier League before with Manchester United, and he should be able to adapt quickly if he joins the London club.
McTominay will cost a premium
According to the report, the player could cost around €80 million. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can afford the asking price. They need to move quickly if they are serious about securing a signature. Several other clubs are monitoring his situation.
Meanwhile, Napoli will not want to lose the player any time soon. He is one of the first names on the team sheet for them. He was instrumental in their title win last season.
Tottenham will need quality players like him if they want to fight for major trophies. They have been quite ambitious in the recent windows, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to break the bank once again.
