Calhanoglu has recovered great form under Cristian Chivu, after a summer marred by controversy.

After a perceived public falling out with Lautaro Martinez, speculation followed that he could join Galatasaray.

Eventually, Lautaro and Calhanoglu made up and the Turkish international stayed in Lombardy.

Since the start of the campaign, Calhanoglu has been a pillar for Cristian Chivu’s side.

He has dictated tempo and has scored key goals from range and from the penalty spot.

The Turkish star has evolved into one of Serie A’s most complete midfielders.

This latest recognition underlines his growing status as one of the league’s standout performers this season.
