Age: 17

Club: AC Milan

Position: GK

Approx. Cost: £21m

Gianluigi Donnarumma is a once in a generation goalkeeping talent. He's already considered one of Europe's best GKs at the age of 17, and given that 'keepers don't usually peak until their early 30s, there's a great chance he'll eventually reach the same lofty heights as his celebrated countryman, Gigi Buffon.

Though already good enough to start for most of the game's teams, the outrageously talented Donnarumma soon becomes a monster.
