FC Internazionale v AC Chievo Verona - Serie A
Skriniar has impressed at San Siro

A surprising, but wholeheartedly deserved, player to feature on this list is Milan Skriniar, recently signed from Sampdoria by Inter.

The Slovakian international has been at the heart of Inter's defence and has impressed hugely, allowing Inter to cement themselves in the top four and challenge for the Scudetto.

The Nerazzurri have only conceded 15 goals this season in Italy's domestic competition, the second-least amount in the league, joint with Juventus.

Skriniar has eyes on him from all around Europe now after his immense rise within six months of playing for Inter.

Ad

He might only be 22 years old, but has an incredible composure in his play and oozes confidence when bringing out the ball from the defence. Throughout the season so far the Slovak has been a key player in launching counter attacks from deep.

Skriniar has a bright future, but there is no reason why he should leave Inter at any point in the near future given how well Luciano Spalletti has done so far.
