Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay says playing in Serie A for Napoli has opened his eyes to a different style of football.

Since joining Napoli from Manchester United for £25.7m last summer, Scott McTominay has become a regular starter and scored seven goals for the Italian giants.

His impressive form has also translated to the international stage, where he has scored 11 goals in his last 22 appearances for Scotland.

McTominay also impressed on his debut against Juventus at the weekend.

McTominay credits his move to Italy for improving his game, saying:

"I would say potentially it has done... It's opened my eyes to a different style of football. It's opened my eyes to a lot of different things off the pitch as well, which I'm very grateful for."

He emphasized the importance of being open to new experiences and improvement:

"Whatever club you play at or if you get a transfer or something like that, you need to have open arms and look to improve."

McTominay's outstanding performances for Scotland have earned him the Scottish Football Writers' international player of the year award for the second consecutive year. He expressed his pride and gratitude, saying:

"Very proud... I'm so grateful to everyone who's helped me in this journey, especially Steve Clarke, because he's the reason why I've been performing so well and the reason why I love coming to the camp, because he makes it such an amazing atmosphere."
