Midfielder

Scott McTominay

SSC NapoliScotland
Quick Bio

Scotland''s goal-scoring midfielder, a powerful runner who times his arrivals in the box to perfection. McTominay reinvented himself as a match-winner in Italy with Napoli and brings the same energy to a Scotland side relishing a rare World Cup. For an American comparison, he is the midfield version of a pass-catching tight end — the big body who slips into space and finishes the scoring play.
