There is still disbelief Manchester United sold the Scotland international to the Italian outfit this summer
Scott McTominay holds a key feature in his game that makes him 'so valuable' to Serie A football – and that is why he has made a major impact since joining Napoli .
Zola reckons this is a massive thing for the players who move from England and in the case of McTominay it is even bigger because he is a box-to-box midfielder. This makes him very valuable and it is exactly why the Chelsea legend is not surprised at the brilliant start he made - and reckons he can improve even more under Antonio Conte.
“They make a physical impact. For players coming from England, that is massive. You see the pace of the game and their quality, it prepares the players. Those guys coming from the Premier League have an edge. And in the case of McTominay, the edge is even bigger because he goes box-to-box. McTominay and Gilmour - both on Scotland duty for the Nations League double header with Croatia and Poland - have settled in nicely in Naples and the fans are 'very satisfied' with what the duo are bringing to the table.
