Scott McTominay named Serie A MVP after Napoli seal Scudetto
Read more:
Overall, though, McTominay was adjudged to have been the finest player in Serie A throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
He ended the season with a goal tally of 12 across 34 league appearances. Perhaps his most impressive strike came at the most pivotal moment.
As Napoli searched for a breakthrough on title-deciding night, the 28-year-old pulled out a scissor-kick to connect with Matteo Politano's cross in acrobatic fashion and put his side in front.
The goal got Antonio Conte's men going in a match they eventually won 2-0.
The victory secured only their fourth Scudetto, and ended for McTominay, a first year in Italy that couldn't have gone any better.

Modric announced in May he would be leaving Spanish giants Real after the Club World Cup in the United to Milan's social media,, external he said he was very happy "to be starting a new chapter" of his career. Massimiliano Allegri, who has returned for a second stint as Milan boss after replacing Sergio Conceicao, called Modric an "extraordinary player" when confirming the Croatia captain would join earlier this month. Modric, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2018, won 28 trophies - including six Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles - with Real after his move from Tottenham in 2012, making him the club's most decorated player. He scored 43 goals in 597 games at Real and his final match was their 4-0 semi-final defeat by Paris St-Germain in the Club World Cup last week. Modric is keen to play at next year's World Cup, which takes place in Canada, Mexico and the US. Milan finished eighth in Serie A last season and missed out on a spot in Europe.

Exiled Alejandro Garnacho spotted for the first time after being forced to train alone as his Man United exit looms
Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho took a trip to the barbers on Monday as he was spotted in public in England for the first time since the end of last season. Garnacho posed for selfies with fans outside of Pure Fades in Altrincham, before hot-footing it towards his car. After spotting the paparazzi, Garnacho — who was dressed in a black Nike T-shirt, Palm Angels shorts and white sliders — playfully covered his face before smiling as he entered his vehicle. Garnacho — who spent his summer holidays in Japan, Spain and then Portugal — is said to be keen to stay in England, although his future may lie away from Old Trafford. The 21-year-old is one of a number of players expected to leave United before the transfer deadline on September 1, with Ruben Amorim keen to sell him. Garnacho is one of five United players not involved in team pre-season training, with the group aiming to find moves away from the Red Devils. Mail Sport reported earlier this week that Garnacho had rejected an approach from Al-Nassr as he wants to remain in the Premier League. United are believed to be holding out for more than £50million, having turned down a bid of £40m from Napoli in January. Garnacho featured in 36 of United's 38 Premier League games last season. However, he was regularly used as a substitute by Amorim, including in the Europa League final defeat by Tottenham in May, when he got just 20 minutes of game time. Speaking after the final, Garnacho said: 'Up until the final I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know. 'The final will influence [my decision] but the whole season, the situation of the club. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens afterwards.'

Odsonne Edouard 'available' as Celtic told Calvert Lewin transfer rules with striker search surging beyond two deals
Brendan Rodgers looks to be ramping up his transfer business having already brought two former stars back to Celtic Park this summer Celtic hero Odsonne Edouard has reportedly been "made available" by Crystal Palace this summer. Brendan Rodgers kickstarted the Frenchman's career in Glasgow's east end before his big money move to the Premier League - but he has found himself surplus to requirements at Selhurst Park with the Hoops' in the midst of striker transfer search. Benjamin Nygren, Callum Osmand and Hayato Inamura are the new faces in the door so far with reports suggesting Cercle Brugge left-back Flavio Nazinho could be on his way - while both Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan have returned to Celtic Park. But a striker remains on the agenda amid recurring links over a return to Parkhead for the 27-year-old. After managing just eight appearances last season during a loan spell at Leicester City, The Athletic report that Edouard is "not part of Palace's plans" and "will be available if deals can be agreed." Shin Yamada is expected to arrive at Celtic Park with reports in Japan suggesting that he will jet into Glasgow following his international commitments at the E1-Championship. They will conclude the tournament when they face South Korea on Wednesday. Napoli ' striker Giuseppe Ambrosino is also attracting interest from Serie A new boys Cremonese and the Scottish Premiership champions this summer. The Hoops have been tracking Ambrosino, who found the target for Italy U21s in their European Championship quarter final defeat to Germany. But after impressing at the tournament, La Repubblica state that Antonio Conte will take a look at the striker before green lighting an exit after he reported for pre-season training on Monday. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also bee touted as a target after the 28-year-old's Everton contract expired. Reports suggest Sunderland are currently in pole position to land the free agent but face a challenge from Scotland with the England international "attracting attention" from the Hoops while a surprise switch to Manchester United has been touted. But the Celtic board are likely to scoff at the mega money that the frontman has reportedly demanded.
