Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has welcomed the capture of Ajax striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar.

Ahead of today's clash with Sevilla, Schuster said of his new Dutch signing: "He's a good signing, who has been on the agenda of Real Madrid for a while. He has been a big scorer for a team like Ajax.

"Players like (Ruud) van Nistelrooy, (Marco) van Basten and Ronaldo were big scorers in the Netherlands and became important players when they went to play elsewhere in Europe.

"I hope the same happens with Huntelaar."
