AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnrumma has been named the best Under-21 player in Serie A according to L’Equipe.

Donnarumma is the only Italian-based player to crack the top 10 of L’Equipe’s top 50 players under the age of 21, though Milan teammates Franck Kessie and Manuel Locatelli landed in 18th and 39th respectively.
Other notable Serie A names included are Roma’s Patrik Schick and Lorenzo Pellegrini in 20th and 35th, Napoli’s Amadou Diawara in 24th and Juventus’ Moise Kean in 50th.
