STAR CLASS: Scott McTominay branded ‘potentially one of best midfielders in Napoli history’ six weeks after transfer from Man Utd

After a great start to the season, SCOTT MCTOMINAY has been called “possibly one of the best midfielders in Napoli history.”

It comes just six weeks after he moved from Manchester United to the Serie A team.

McTominay signed a four-year deal worth £25 million in August. The deal runs until 2028.

Since then, he has played five times for Antonio Conte and scored twice and set up another goal.

People who like him have quickly made him a fan favorite thanks to his acts.

Fans also liked McTominay’s open letter to them after he made the move, which helped them accept him.

The Italian media have also praised his play, with one critic even saying he looks like Diego Maradona.

But now, football agent Christian Bosco has said even more bad things about the Scotland player.

He told Canale 8 about McTominay, “You can be a winner even if you have different DNA.” This Naples is a tough Naples.

“McTominay will still have to prove himself in Italy, but he is potentially one of the best midfielders in Napoli’s history.”

McTominay played well on his first game against Juventus last month, and he scored his first goal in the Coppa Italia against Palermo.

After that goal, he scored Napoli’s second goal in just 25 seconds against Como on Friday, in their most recent win.

With this win, Conte’s team is now in first place in the table after seven games.

So far in Serie A, Napoli has won five games and lost only one. They are two points ahead of Inter Milan, who is in second place.

McTominay will want to keep up his good play after the break for international duty.

His new team plays Empoli, which is in 10th place, away on October 20.
