Scott McTominay has been a revelation on the pitch after his £25.7million transfer to Napoli 18 months ago. The Scottish star has been amassing trophies and praise following his switch from Manchester United.
What sparked the turnaround?
McTominay's exceptional season last year was a key factor, with 12 league goals in 34 matches, helping Napoli secure their second Scudetto win in three years.
Life in Naples
The 29-year-old midfielder has settled seamlessly into Neapolitan life, with his glamorous girlfriend Cam Reading, who has been christened the 'Queen of Italy' by some media outlets, by his side.
McTominay's girlfriend has been turning heads with her stunning outfits, including a sheer dress at the Serie A Player of the Year awards ceremony earlier this month.
Adapting to the culture
Former Scotland manager Gordon Strachan praised McTominay for achieving "god-like" standing at Napoli, with the player having found his own identity in Italy.
Strachan said: "Sometimes it's about finding the right team for you as a player. He's transformed into arguably one of Italy's finest players this year, if not the very best."
McTominay will be back on the pitch for Napoli on Wednesday night as the Italian champions take on Benfica in the Champions League league phase.
The Scottish star has also helped Scotland qualify for their first World Cup since 1998, with his outstanding performances earning him the Serie A MVP title.
Cam Reading took to Instagram to express her pride following McTominay's successful evening at the awards ceremony, showcasing some of her Italian, writing: "Gran Gala del Calcio, Scott walked away with two awards and I walked away even prouder of the man he is...dedicated, hardworking and always striving for more. Ti amo."
McTominay and his girlfriend were snapped along the Amalfi coast last year, with Reading revealing that they had "fallen in love with Italy".
