Scott McTominay celebrated a remarkable evening at the Grand Gala of Football 2025, where he was awarded the Serie A Player of the Year for his outstanding contributions to Napoli. The midfielder’s performance has been nothing short of exceptional since his transfer from Manchester United for £25.7 million last summer. During the previous season, he played a pivotal role in leading Napoli to their second Scudetto in three years, scoring 12 goals in 34 league matches.
As McTominay accepted his award, he was accompanied by his girlfriend, Cam Reading, who caught the attention of attendees in a striking see-through dress. Reading, previously dubbed the “Queen of Italy,” has embraced life in Naples and proudly celebrated McTominay’s achievements on social media. After the ceremony, she expressed her pride in a heartfelt Instagram post, stating: “Gran Gala del Calcio, Scott walked away with two awards and I walked away even prouder of the man he is… dedicated, hardworking and always striving for more. Ti amo.”
McTominay’s Impact on Napoli and Scotland
McTominay’s recent accolades reflect a significant transformation in his career. He not only secured the Serie A MVP title but also received a nomination for the prestigious Ballon d’Or, marking the first time he has been recognized in this way. His performance has been instrumental in Napoli’s current campaign, where they sit second in the league, tied on points with leaders AC Milan but trailing due to goal difference.
Following the award ceremony, McTominay expressed his gratitude to his teammates and staff, highlighting the special bond he has formed with Napoli. “It’s sensational, it’s incredible to be here and win this award. Thank you to everyone, the team, the staff, and my teammates,” he said. “Coming to Napoli was an easy choice; I came to the right place.”
His influence extends beyond club football. McTominay has been a crucial player for the Scottish national team, contributing to their qualification for the upcoming 2024 World Cup. Notably, he scored in Scotland’s 2-1 victory over Belarus in October and added a spectacular overhead kick in a 4-2 win against Denmark, securing their place in the tournament for the first time since 1998.
As McTominay continues to excel both domestically and internationally, his achievements serve as a testament to his dedication and skill on the field. With the football world watching, the midfielder aims to build on his success in the months ahead, while his growing reputation solidifies his status among the elite players in the sport.
