AC Milan goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma admits he has plenty to learn if he is to reach the level of Gigi Buffon.
The Juventus captain will hang up his gloves at the end of the season - with Donnarumma regarded as his successor.
However, the teen stated: "Everyone says I'm his successor but I have so much work to do. It is never enough. To get to great levels you never can stop.
"I'm not afraid to be considered Buffon's heir, but I have to improve so much to get to Gigi's level.
"What quality should the goalkeeper have? A big goalkeeper must have 'everything' both on the field and outside, and have great desire to improve and never to be content. There is always much to learn from day to day.
"Gigi in the national team has always shown great desire. I also appreciate him because he is helping me a lot."
