The 19-year-old, who is of Ivorian descent and became the first player born in the 2000s to find the back of the net in Europe's top five leagues back in May 2017, is enjoying a successful 2018/19 campaign with the Bianconeri after a fruitful loan stint with Hellas Verona last season.

Kean took his tally to seven goals in his past seven games for club and country with his 84th minute strike against Milan on Saturday.

Following his late winner against the Rossoneri, the striker has become only the second teenager in this century to score five or more goals for Juventus in Italy's top flight, according to FIFA.com – a feat last achieved by Manchester United superstar Pogba in the 2012/13 campaign.

Kean grabbed a brace in Juve's 4-1 victory over Udinese in March, before adding to his tally in the Bianconeri's 2-0 win over Cagliari as well as netting the winners in victories over Empoli (1-0) and most recently Milan (2-1).

Pogba is the only other teenager who has achieved this feat for Juventus, doing so in the 2012/13 campaign, when he scored five goals in 27 Serie A appearances.
