Scott McTominay has achieved legend-like status at Naples since arriving from Manchester United. As Napoli attempt to hand him a new contract, the threat from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is clearly looming.
After a slow start to the season, the Scotsman has found form. He now has nine goals and four assists in all competitions.
McTominay also played deeper in midfield due to the injury crisis. This has demonstrated his importance to Antonio Conte's team, even when he is not scoring as much.
arianapoli The report states that English clubs are monitoring his situation. Arsenal and Tottenham, in particular, have been reported as interested.
Any step will be difficult. This is because Napoli have scheduled negotiations on a renewal and the discussions will take place at the end of the season.
Napoli is likely to be renewed
Already in the past few months, the midfielder has rejected approaches from Saudi Arabia. He was offered a salary of €15m per season after tax, plus €3m in bonuses.
That's why it will be difficult for the Scotland international to make an impact. Even for Napoli, it would take a lot of effort to sell McTominay.
Club CEO Aurelio De Laurentiis will only accept offers of more than €100m to sell the player. This is a price Arsenal and Tottenham will have to meet, with the player's wage demands also expected to be high.
Napoli want to tie down McTominay to a contract until 2031, and linking Premier League clubs is probably all part of the Italian show. Then it can be shouted that the Serie A club beat off stiff competition to retain its hero.
Manchester United is endlessly connected, and Even Everton were thrown in During November.
