Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expects Aurelien Tchouameni to see plenty of senior football this season.

The midfielder arrived earlier this summer from Monaco.

Ancelotti, when asked about Tchouaméni's chances of being a regular starter, replied, “In today's game, and especially here at Real Madrid, the meaning of the word 'starter' means a player who will play the next game because after the game, there will be other players who are 'starters' too.

"The competition for places within the squad is the key to our success and maintaining a high level of motivation right the way through the group."

Expanding on Tchouameni and fellow new signing Toni Rudiger, Ancelotti added: “Tchouaméni and Rüdiger will bring quality to the squad because, they were the best players in their positions who were available on the market. Rüdiger is a great centre-back - who can play in several different positions. And Tchouaméni is the same. He's very young and he's got time to develop and a great future ahead of him. He's also a key player for France. So we will make the most of this tour to help them to adapt to our squad, and we will adapt to the qualities which they have."
