Tottenham Hotspur are right in the thick of the race for a midfielder who has turned his career around since his switch to Serie A 18 months ago.
A clear pattern is emerging with the midfielders who are being linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the January window.
Spurs are alleged to be exploring a move for Ruben Neves, while it has also been reported by some sources that the Lilywhites have held talks with Conor Gallagher over a January transfer.
Those are players with Premier League experience who can hit the ground running at N17, and it has now emerged that the North Londoners are eyeing another midfielder who has proven himself in the English top flight.
Tottenham eyeing move for Napoli star who has transformed under Antonio Conte
According to CaughtOffside, Thomas Frank wants to add goals and physicality to his midfield and the club have thus set their sights on Scott McTominay.
The former Man United man is a transformed player since his switch to Naples, playing the key role in their title win last season and being voted the Serie A Player of the Year.
His performances have not gone unnoticed in the Premier League, with Tottenham facing competition from Man United for McTominay.
The outlet claims that United regret letting the 29-year-old leave the club and are now ‘dreaming’ of bringing their academy graduate back to Old Trafford.

CaughtOffside say that the Scotland international is also being monitored closely by Arsenal and Newcastle ahead of the January window.
While Napoli would prefer to keep McTominay, they are under financial pressure to balance their books and would thus listen to offers.
The Serie A club have allegedly decided that they would be willing to let their star midfielder leave for around £60m.
