His summer signing even convinced Antonio Conte to switch to a four-man defence after using a three-man backline for over a decade.

“It’s impossible for Napoli to do without a player with these skill sets,” Bordin told Radio Marte via TMW.

“He combines quantity and quality and is tough in tackles without being nasty. He helps in the build-up, he runs and scores goals. It was an extraordinary signing for Napoli.”

McTominay joined the Partenopei in a €30m deal from Manchester United last summer, and his contract at the Stadio Maradona expires in June 2028.

Napoli are the current Serie A table leaders, with one point clear of Inter, Atalanta, Fiorentina, and Lazio, and two points above Juventus.
