Fans vote McTominay Napoli's October player as contract talks stall
Two braces, against Bodø/Glimt and Roma, won him the supporters' vote on the club app. Talks on extending his deal to 2030 are going nowhere.
Scott McTominay is Napoli's Player of the Month for October. Supporters chose him in a vote on the club's official app. The 29-year-old played six games across Serie A and the Champions League and scored four goals, with a brace against Bodø/Glimt and another against Roma. He also played against Frosinone, Villarreal, Venezia and Monza during the month.
Both braces came in games where Napoli conceded three: 4-3 against Bodø/Glimt and 3-3 with Roma at the Maradona. Villarreal beat them 3-1. November has been worse. Napoli lost 2-0 to Juventus, then lost 4-1 to Porto despite McTominay scoring in the 43rd minute, then drew 1-1 with Lazio. As of Friday 13 November, they are tenth with 15 points.

The fans' choice is under contract until 30 June 2028. The club want to extend it to 2030, but talks with his agent, Murdock, who was asking for €12m, have stalled. A vote on an app will not get them moving again. That is up to the board. First, though, comes the football: Napoli host Torino at the Maradona on Saturday 21 November at 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET).
