A move for in-form Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay is being considered by Barcelona. TEAMtalk reports that the Blaugrana have placed the 28-year-old on a three-player shortlist for next summer, but could face competition from both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. It is reported that any move in January would be categorically off the table, with the Serie A club unwilling to offload a key player during a title race.

Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour of Italian champions Napoli would open the season at Josh Doig's newly promoted Sassuolo. Doig, who would make his international debut later that week, beamed at the thought of facing Gilmour - someone he grew up playing youth football against - as well as McTominay, a man who returns not just as the league's player of the season, but a Ballon d'Or nominee and Neapolitan hero.
