Napoli ‘target FOURTH Scotland star' as Italian champions look to build on success of Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NAPOLI are looking to replicate their success with Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour by DOUBLING their Scottish quota, it's being claimed. McTominay and Gilmour both moved to Italy from England last summer and the Scotland duo are already legends in Naples after leading the club to the Serie A title in their first season. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 It's been a dream move for the Scotland par Credit: AFP 2 They headed to Italy last summer Credit: Reuters They are now revered by the same passionate fans who idolised Diego Maradona after becoming the first Scots to win Italy's top flight since 1905. They aren't the only Scottish players who've thrived in Serie A in the last few seasons. Now it's being suggested that Antonio Conte is keen on following the same blueprint to improve his squad ahead of the new season. We told you two weeks ago how reports from Italy have stated that Lewis Ferguson is a major target to join McTominay and Gilmour at Napoli following his Coppa Italia success with Bologna. The former Hamilton Accies and Aberdeen star won the Bulgarelli Award for the best midfielder in the country last year - an award which could go to his Tartan Army pal McTominay in the coming months. It's believed Conte has been keeping tabs on the 25-year-old for a number of months and will be looking to secure a deal for him this summer. But he's just one of two new Scots that Conte is eyeing up. Transfermarkt claim Napoli are also interested in signing Max Johnston from Sturm Graz as well. Former Motherwell right-back Johnston - handed his first Scotland cap against Greece - moved to Austria in 2023 and has won back-to-back top flight titles, including a double in his first season. He made 31 appearances last season and was given his Champions League bow against Brest in September last year. Scott McTominay delights Napoli fans as he's spotted speaking Italian for the first time The 21-year-old featured five times in Uefa's flagship competition and impressed in flashes despite losing every game he was involved in. His form in Austria has grabbed the attention of the Italian giants, with Conte reportedly keen to add another right-back to his squad next season. His captain Giovanni de Lorenzo is first choice but it's said he wants the Scot to provide competition for the 31-year-old. Napoli watched Bologna have success with Aaron Hickey who shined at right-back in Italian football and they hope Johnston could have a similar impact. The development comes as Scottish left-back Josh Doig, 23, emerges as a shock target for Juventus. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
