The Sunday Times journalist Duncan Castles has confirmed that Tottenham do hold a serious interest in Scott McTominay and the Lilywhites could now enter a bidding war for the Manchester United star.
Spurs have not had any success in their quest to sign a senior homegrown midfielder this summer, with the club seeming on course to miss out on their top targets.
It has emerged over recent days that Conor Gallagher is now edging close to a move to Atletico Madrid (HITC) while Jacob Ramsey is reportedly set to stay put at Aston Villa (The Athletic).
It was suggested by journalist Dean Jones on the Rank Ultras FC podcast a couple of weeks ago that Spurs could turn their attention to McTominay, who is thought to be available for £30m.
Castles has now talked up Tottenham’s interest in the Scotland international, insisting that Ange Postecoglou’s men could look to outbid Fulham for the player’s signature.
The journalist said on The Transfers Podcast: “Tottenham Hotspur are also strongly interested in McTominay. And I think ultimately should be able to outbid Fulham for the player, as well as having higher status and the ability to offer European football to McTominay.
“I think in all likelihood we would see McTominay move to another Premier League club before the end of this window.”
Spurs Web Opinion
McTominay is a much better player than a lot of Man Utd fans give him credit for but he simply does not strike me as a natural fit for Ange’s system.
While the 27-year-old has energy to burn, he does not have the awareness or the quality in possession to receive the ball on the half-turn, which is something Postecoglou expects of his midfielders.
