The hype is real.

December 23^rd 2016: As Paulo Dybala stepped up to take a penalty, AC Milan’s chances of a first trophy since 2011 lay in the hands of a lanky 17-year-old. True to form, Gianluigi Donnarumma pulled off a stunning save and when Mario Pasalic scored moments later, the Rossoneri cried tears of joy.

The Italian teenager is now 18-years-old and his agent, Mino Raiola, rates him as a €110 million player. In a world where Paul Pogba costs as much, I’d argue Donnarumma is worth more. He remains the only reason why Milanese fans turn up to the San Siro – and they’ve not been left disappointed.

Despite only playing league games, Donnarumma has made an incredible 135 saves – the best of any keeper on this list, and despite Milan’s awful defence, managed to keep 12 clean sheets while also racking up a saves-per-goals ratio of 3.14. He still retains his incredible claim success rate of 97% – while also displaying his skill at saving penalties.

We’re witnessing the birth of a legend here – and I would not put it past him to take the crown next season.
