Gianluigi Donnarumma will be the best goalkeeper in the world, claims his AC Milan understudy Asmir Begovic as on-loan Bournemouth star says fallen giants will challenge for Serie A title again in five years if they keep young side together

Gianluigi Donnarumma will be spoken about as the best goalkeeper in the world, according to his AC Milan team-mate Asmir Begovic.

Begovic moved to the Italian giants on loan from Bournemouth in January and has spent the past few months – barring the temporary suspension of the season – working with the 21-year-old.

Donnarumma has long been touted as a star of the future after breaking into the Milan line-up at the age of 16.
