Tottenham backed to agree McTominay deal after source's reveal - expert

Tottenham Hotspur have been backed to sign Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay this summer.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Spurs defender Alan Hutton stated that Tottenham’s style “would suit” the Scotland international.

Spurs are not the only Premier League club in the market for the 27-year-old, as Fulham have had a £17million bid rejected in this window.

Football Insider revealed that McTominay’s personal preference is to remain at Old Trafford as he enters the final year of his current contract.

But with the 20-time champions pursuing PSG’s Manuel Ugarte, United could end up being open to selling McTominay.

Tottenham have a style that would suit Scott McTominay

Football Insider revealed that Spurs could be in the market for a central midfielder this summer, as Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg is expected to depart the club.

Leicester City are also in the market for Oliver Skipp, which would deplete Ange Postecoglou’s options even further.

“I think it would suit him because he’s high energy, and that’s when you get the best of him,” Hutton told Football Insider.

“You see from Scotland games when he’s allowed to burst forward when he’s allowed to get forward, he can score goals and he can assist.

“He can close down, he wins the ball back high up the pitch and I think that’s what Ange likes.

“You see him doing it a lot for Scotland, he doesn’t do it as much for Manchester United because he’s being asked to play a different type of way.

“Fees, it’s going to be probably £30million or above, with the experience that he’s got, he’s still at a decent age he’s got a lot of football in him.

“He gives you something else.

“We talk about Conor Gallagher and how much he’s worth, and he’s a little bit younger to be fair, but Scott McTominay gives you the same kind of attributes as well.

“He would be a real good addition to an Ange team and he would fit in seamlessly.”
