Scott McTominay relishing life at Napoli as he targets iconic Scudetto crown

Scott McTominay is relishing life at Napoli - with the Scotland star already setting his sights on winning the much-coveted Serie A title this season.

Manager Antonio Conte brought McTominay to Naples this summer alongside international teammate Billy Gilmour

Napoli paid around £25million to lure McTominay from boyhood club Manchester United and he made his first start for the Italian giants against Juventus last weekend. 

The 27-year-old impressed as he played the full 90 minutes of the clash and now he’s ready to kick-on.

"My dream is to win the Scudetto with Napoli, to win trophies, and be successful," the midfielder told reporters before the Coppa Italia tie with Palermo on Thursday night. 

"I'm very proud to be here. When I found out that Napoli were interested in me, I felt the fire inside.

"The blues fans are crazy, I'd say the best I've ever seen. 

"My teammates and technical staff have also given me a special welcome. The fact that a coach of Conte's calibre wanted to bring me to his team fills me with confidence. 

"I want to show that I can bring him a lot."

In a message to supporters, he said: “Hello to all Napoli fans. I'm sorry that my Neapolitan is not very good, I hope to learn very soon.

“Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I am very happy to be here and ready to work for you. Thank you!”
