South Africa's Refiloe Jane: I see myself in AC Milan legend Gattuso

South Africa international Refiloe Jane has revealed why she regards AC Milan legend Gennaro Gattuso as her role model.

The highly-rated midfielder is enjoying an impressive start to life in Italy after she completed her switch in September and has sealed her place in AC Milan's first team this season.

The 27-year-old, who is fondly called Fifi, made her Italian Serie A debut in Maurizio Ganz's side's 3-0 season-opening triumph at Roma and starred in their 4-1 win over Orobica two weeks ago.

Having become the first South African woman to move to Italy, the Banyana Banyana star is confident about emulating the Italian legend at AC Milan

"I see myself in Gattuso as a very physical player," Jane told Sky Sports.
