Napoli believe Scott McTominay wants to extend his contract despite reports of interest from Real Madrid. Sporting director Giovanni Manna has revealed that talks over a new deal are ongoing, and he believes the 29-year-old Scotland midfielder wants to stay at the club.
At £34m, McTominay is the 35th most valuable British player and the top Scot in the latest market value update, one spot ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's Scotland-qualified England youth defender, Archie Gray.
Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg has defended Connor Barron, describing him as a "good player". The 24-year-old midfielder, on loan from Rangers, has struggled for game time, but Hellberg says he is in the same position as many summer signings who are only beginning to break into Championship starting line-ups.
Meanwhile, former Inverness Caledonian Thistle boss Duncan Ferguson is among the leading candidates to become the next manager of Glentoran, according to Belfast Telegraph reports.
