In recent years, Gianluigi Donnarumma has established himself as one of the most exciting prospects in world football. Despite being only 19 years old, the Italian goalkeeper has surpassed expectations like no other, courtesy of his sterling showings for both AC Milan and Italy's national team.
Widely regarded to be the heir to Gianluigi Buffon, Donnarumma plays with the calm of a grizzled ol' veteran, enabled by his physical strength, mental composure and decision making.
With AC Milan looking to sell the 19-year-old to tackle the club's financial problems, Chelsea are in pole position to procure the promising shot-stopper.
