The difference in Skriniar's 2016/17 and 2017/18 is the definition of a turnaround. Last season, the Croatian defender was on loan at , and had a nothing short of horrid season. He was rightfully voted into the Serie A Worst XI of the Season. Fast forward twelve months, and Milan has a good chance of making it into the Best XI of the Season.

While that is proof enough to validate his inclusion in this list, his statistics have a say of their own. He's is renowned for his ability to play the ball out from the back, too. He has 91% passing accuracy this season - no defender can boast of a higher percentage.

His performances this season have drawn in quite a few fans, including Arsenal, Manchester City, Barcelona and Manchester United, though the Croatian insists he's going nowhere.
