Former Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori has won the admiration of fans, Italy's greatest players and the press in a stunning season at AC Milan.
It is a remarkable feat for a young man to be revered as a defender in a country that considers defending an art form.
But the 24-year-old, who was schooled at Chelsea's academy, is now rated as one of the best in Serie A, leading the Rossoneri's charge for their first league title in more than 10 years.
Milan sit top of the league with four games to go, two points clear of city rivals Inter, who fluffed their lines and lost their game in hand 2-1 away to Bologna on Wednesday.
