'One of the best midfielders in Napoli's history' - Scott McTominay's start to life away from Man Utd praised by FIFA agent

McTominay joined the Italian club from Manchester United in the summer transfer window and already has two goals and an assist to his name, helping Antonio Conte's men go top of Serie A with 16 points from seven matches.

The 27-year-old was labelled "lethal" by striker Romelu Lukaku after he scored in the first minute of their game against Como. His heroics have been noticed by FIFA agent Cristian Bosco Iuenedi, too, who believes Napoli will win the league title this year and that Scotland international McTominay will play a pivotal role.

“You can be a winner even if you have different DNA," Bosco said on Canale 8. "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. I'll throw down a provocation. This year's Napoli has no opponents, only Napoli can lose this Scudetto!"

Napoli are two points ahead of reigning champions Inter and have won six of their last seven matches. They are in action again on October 20, when they take on Empoli in Serie A.
