After a week and a long wait, the US magazine’s FourFourTwo best talents list was completed this morning, and ranked 100 teenagers from all over the world, pointing to the most promising, including the presence of several Italian youngsters. 9 players to be more precise, with the top ten dominated by the blue presence thanks to the first place of Gigio Donnarumma, but also to the fifth of Federico Chiesa and the tenth of Manuel Locatelli. A lot of praise also for Patrick Cutrone, 23rd, but in front of many celebrated talents such as Lafont and Isak, just to name two. Present on the list also Giuseppe Pezzella of Udinese, Claud Adjapong of Sassuolo, Moise Kean of Juventus, and Simone Lo Faso of Fiorentina, on loan from Palermo.
Describing Gigio the Us magazine writes: “Simply, Donnarumma has been sensational. He has kept 27 clean sheets in 80 Serie A matches – a remarkable tally given Milan’s woeful performances over the past few seasons. The giant 18-year-old commands his area brilliantly, and has no problem berating his more experienced international team-mates if he has to. Donnarumma’s displays have been a joy to behold, and he already looks like an accomplished keeper.”
