In recent years, several British players have swapped the Premier League for elite football abroad—Gareth Bale, Harry Kane, and Fikayo Tomori are just three examples.
One more example who ditched England’s top tier for Serie A is Scott McTominay.
The Scotsman is now an integral part of the Napoli midfield unit.
McTominay, a product of the Manchester United academy, made 255 first-team appearances for the club he joined at the age of five, earning the respect of the United faithful for his efforts during what was a challenging time for the Red Devils.
After a reported transfer fee of £25m, McTominay traded Old Trafford for Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and has settled in nicely, helping the club take the top spot in Serie A after 12 games.
The Scotland International has quickly asserted himself as a fan favourite with his courageous displays, attacking intensity, and all-around energy and intensity—the Napoli fanbase has even dubbed him McTomadona.
This scout report will provide a tactical analysis of McTominay’s role in Antonio Conte’s SSC Napoli side, with the analysis discussing his important midfield role in Conte’s tactics.
