Mastour may be the next

MILAN PLAYER FITS THE BILL PERFECTLY FOR REAL

Now that the signing of Ødegaard is a done thing, the higher-ups at the Bernabéu have set their sights on another shining starlet. Next in line comes Hachim Mastour, one of A.C. Milan's young promises.

The 16-year-old Italian/Moroccan forward plays for Milan's B-team, although he has been called up to Filippo Inzaghi's A team on five occasions so far this season. Unfortunately, he was not given the chance to make his official debut wearing the 'Rossoneri' shirt. He has been able to do so, however, in a friendly. Mastour played in the Trofeo Luigi Berlusconi 2014 game at the San Siro last 5th November.

The young player, who is a magician with the ball at his feet, is known for his remarkable physical presence, his fluid dribbling and his powerful shot on goal. Such qualities have not gone unnoticed by the scouts of the European big guns. Barcelona had a go at nabbing him last year, but Adriano Galliani was having none of it and the boy stayed put.

Now it is Real Madrid's turn to have a go at reeling him in. Mastour is just what Real are after and fits perfectly with the club's current signing policy. He's young, talented, with a great future ahead of him and is ready to take on the responsibilities that defending Real's colours supposes. After Asensio, Ødegaard and Peeters, he might be next.
