Real Madrid watching Atalanta teen Ahanor

Real Madrid are watching Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor.

Sky Italia's transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio is reporting Real have been scouting the 18 year-old stopper.

The Italy U21 international left-footed centre-back, who can also play at left-back, joined La Dea last summer from Genoa for €17m.

At Atalanta, he has established himself as a key player in the defence despite his youth, making 28 appearances, including nine in the Champions League, in which he has scored one goal.

Real are keen as they prepare to lose veteran pair David Alaba and Toni Rudiger over the summer. The defensive are both coming off contract at the end of June.
