"I have to choose someone who’s like me, I’d take Skriniar,” Walter Samuel told La Gazzetta dello Sport earlier in the season. "People already spoke well to me about him at Sampdoria, he just has to continue his growth without being distracted by anything. I see myself in him, few frills, a lot of substance.”

The 22-year-old has been a sensation at San Siro this season and a reasonable shout for the best defender in Europe as things stand.
