The Scottish midfielder, who joined from Brighton, highlighted the club's ambitious project and the appeal of playing in Serie A.

Read the full story at football-italia.netGilmour's endorsement of Napoli carries weight: a young international choosing the Serie A champions over Premier League comfort reinforces Napoli's status as a serious project, not a one-season wonder. His praise for McTominay's evolution is equally telling — the Scotland captain has shed the 'fringe player' label from his Old Trafford days and become a central figure in Conte's midfield. For Napoli, building around a British core of Gilmour, McTominay, and others signals a clear recruitment identity that blends physicality, technical quality, and tactical discipline. Rival clubs will note how effectively Napoli are converting undervalued Premier League assets into Serie A stars.
