The Scotland International has thrive in its first season in the Serie A under Napoli coach Antonio Conte.
Reminding the first approach of the Azzurri, McTominay told La Gazzetta Dello Sport: “I had heard about it during the European Championships and there was an immediate attraction.
“When this chance came, I took it seriously. It had never happened to me before. I wanted to be sure that this was the right decision at that time and for the future, so I informed myself well about the project, the team and the coach. And the sports director Giovanni Manna had a big influence on me.
“He came to my house in Manchester, we had a very pleasant conversation: he explained the culture, the history of the club, the shirt and Napoli, the beautiful stadium. The passion of the fans, the myth of Maradona, the food that is incredible.
“And clearly the chance to win important trophies that would grow my career. Here I am very happy and I want to keep doing my best on the field.”
