SCOTT MCTOMINAY has been branded “potentially one of the best midfielders in Napoli history” after an incredible start to the season.

It comes just six weeks after he completed his move to the Serie A side from Manchester United.

The Scotland international signed from Manchester United six weeks ago in a £25million deal

McTominay signed for £25million back in August, penning a four-year deal through to 2028.

He has since scored twice and provided an assist in five appearances under Antonio Conte.

His performances have seen him quickly become a fan favourite amongst supporters.

McTominay’s acceptance by the fans was also helped by an open letter penned to supporters following his move.

Meanwhile, the Italian media have also hailed his displays, with one commentator even comparing him to Diego Maradona.

Football agent Christian Bosco has now gone even further with his assessment of the Scotland international.

Discussing McTominay, he told Canale 8: “You can be a winner even if you have different DNA. This Napoli is a cynical Napoli.

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

McTominay impressed on his debut against Juventus last month before scoring his first goal against Palermo in the Coppa Italia.

He followed that strike up by finding the net after just 25 seconds against Como on Friday in Napoli’s latest win.

After seven games this season, Conte’s team leads the standings thanks to the victory.

Napoli leads closest rival Inter Milan by two points after winning five of their first six Serie A games and losing just once.

McTominay will be looking to build on his recent success when the international break ends.

October 20 is his new club’s away game against Empoli, who are in 10th position.
