Age: 17

Position: GK

Growth Potential: 77-88

Cost: 8.5 million

It really is quite remarkable that Gianluigi Donnarumma is only seventeen years old. The Italian is thought to be the natural successor to the legendary goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon, and has already begun to do so by making nearly 50 appearances for AC Milan before his eighteenth birthday. If that was not enough, Donnarumma is Italy's youngest ever goalkeeper, have made his debut for the Azzuri aged just 17 years and 189 days old.

The young Italian stands at a mammoth 6'5, and his goalkeeping stats are well rounded. You will not have to wait long until you see the AC Milan goalkeeper's overall rating enter into the high eighties. Also, his contract runs out in 2018, so if you are lucky, you can pick him up on the cheap.

There really is only one option when picking a goalkeeping wonderkid, Buffon 2.0, Donnarumma.
