"My father always wore a Real Madrid shirt at home with Zidane's number 5. It's funny because the story has turned around and he gave it to me when I signed in the summer. I asked him who was that player he was wearing on the shirt and he told me that when I was older we would watch it on YouTube. Now, that I'm 5, it's a great story.

"I have to thank the club for their interest. There are many talented players and I was honoured that they thought I had the right characteristics and personality to fit in. When they called me and told me the plan and the project for the next few years it convinced me. I didn't even have to think about it."
