Real Madrid New Boy Tchouameni Reveals Zidane and Benzema are his idols

Speaking at his official Real Madrid unveiling, Aurelien Tchouameni said: "Zinedine Zidane is a Madrid icon, but for the French, we also remember the Zidane of the 2006 World Cup.

"Zidane and Karim Benzema are my idols. I have been lucky enough to speak to Benzema and Eduardo Camavinga. We have seen how he [Camavinga] has improved in his first year.

"And I will be lucky enough to play at the club with the best striker in the world. When the negotiations were progressing he wrote to me and asked me if he could help me."

Real Madrid's French contingent has grown this summer following the arrival of Tchouameni from AS Monaco for a fee in the region of €100 million.

The La Liga giants also appeared to be on the verge of signing Kylian Mbappe but he opted to put pen to paper on a new Paris Saint-Germain contract instead.
