McTominay, who joined from Manchester United, has instantly become one of the most impactful midfielders in Serie A and is the team's second-highest goal scorer behind Romelu Lukaku, finding the back of the net seven times in 30 games in all competitions. Gilmour, on the other hand, has been more of a rotational piece for Conte than a starter.
Last weekend, Napoli hosted Fiorentina in a crucial Serie A clash. The Partenopei were on a five-game winless streak, including four draws and a 2-1 loss to Como. Once Serie A leaders, their recent slump allowed Inter to leapfrog them at the top, though Napoli remain just one point behind Simone Inzaghi's side following their win over Fiorentina.
WHAT SCOTT MCTOMINAY SAID
Taking to Instagram, McTominay posted a photo of himself and Gilmour with the caption, "A beautiful lunch with Maestro". Gilmour replied with the text "Fratello", which means 'brother' in Italian.
