Juventus leaders Leo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini are amongst six shortlisted for the Globe Soccer Awards Best Defender 2021 award.
The two Italian centre-backs will have to fend off four Premier League stars in Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Man City’s Ruben Dias and Chelsea’s Champions League pair Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta to win the award.

I think it would be a credit to both if one of them was named as the winner, with the pair proving to be a formidable force against some of the best in world football during the summer, despite their ages, and while I think Bonucci could have a better chance having played more minutes during the summer, Chiellini’s heroics in the final will be what stands out in people’s minds.
