She is set to make her final home appearance against Everton on Wednesday, before closing out the season against Liverpool on May 16.

Allegri is now under increasing pressure along with his Milan side to secure a Champions League spot. The problem is that - should they finish fifth or lower - there's a scenario in which he won't even be the Rossoneri's coach anymore. Perhaps Vlahovic's fault in part? Then, the future of the former Partizan striker comes back into play. The Diavolo have been mentioned among the potential landing spots for him, but without a place in Europe's top club competition and the money it brings, it seems unthinkable.
There were few positives for Sunderland fans in the 2016-17 season as they finished rock bottom and 16 points from safety, but the emergence of one of their own - Jordan Pickford - was a highlight.

He ended the year with the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
