So quickly has Scott McTominay won over Napoli fans that, for some supporters, he has already attained greater icon status than the famous Neapolitan pizza.
'Napoli. McTominay. Pizza. In that order,' reads a huge club flag on the wall of one restaurant run by a fan.
It sounds dramatic but it is credit to McTominay that, within six months of joining from Manchester United, he has the fanbase wrapped around his little finger.
The feeling is mutual. McTominay is enthralled by the city and the club. He has had a glowing start to life out in Italy alongside his girlfriend, Cam Reading, an asset manager.
