Deportivo La Coruna coach Miguel Angel Lotina has described youngster Adrian Lopez Alvarez as the "white Ronaldo".

Lotina said of the Spain youth international striker: "He is a player of tremendous quality, in one against ones he is very good and can be phenomenal.

"He has tremendous potential and anywhere near goal he is a great threat."

Lotina has frozen out Adrian this season, but insists: "He is going to be a great player and will score many goals. At the moment we have others in his position, but he will prove his potential."
