• Kenan Yildiz, who has scored 19 goals and provided 10 assists in Serie A this season, could become the third player to be involved in at least 30 goals before turning 21 since the league returned to the 20 team format (from 2004/05), after Alexandre Pato (46) and Domenico Berardi (47) - Mario Balotelli also had 29.
