Scott McTominay is Napoli's 'key man' as they look to win Serie A title

Polish legend and UEFA vice-president Zbigniew Boniek has tipped Scotland star Scott McTominay as the key man who will help his former player Antonio Conte win Serie A with Napoli.

McTominay has been widely praised for his performances this season with the Naples giants, who are in an intense fight for the title with Inter Milan, with the clubs locked together in points at the top of the league.

The former Manchester United equalled a 64-year record this week with his tenth goal of the season to go level on goals with Denis Law as the highest-scoring Scot in Italian football history.

And former Juventus and Roma icon Boniek - who was manager of Poland, Polish FA president and is now vice-president at UEFA - has praised McTominay's impact.

He said: "Scott McTominay has been very good in this section of the league and, together with Antonio Conte, he is the main reason Napoli are challenging. He has impressed me.

"Napoli only have Serie A to focus on, but Inter also have the Champions League, which they care a lot about.

"I have nothing against Inter, but I support Antonio Conte because I coached him when he was a young player at the start of his career when I was manager of Lecce."
