Get ready, because Marco Asensio is about to take the world by storm. Last season, Zinedine Zidane slowly introduced the prodigy to the world by giving him 11 starts in La Liga, in which he scored 3 goals.

With the likes of James Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata now moved on to greener pastures, there’s more room than ever for the youngster to shine at the Bernabéu. It’s clear Zidane rates him highly and his ability to play anywhere across the front 6 is a vital asset for any manager to possess.

The club’s valuation of the Spaniard can be seen by the fact that Florentino Perez tied Asensio down to ANOTHER new contract in June and inserted a £300m buyout clause into it this time. Now the 21-year old is ready to push on and become not only the best youngster in the world but the most effective attacking player around.
