Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has hinted at friction over Kepa Arrizabalaga's arrival.

Kepa is set to join Real Madrid from Athletic Bilbao in January and yet Zidane is adamant that the club don't need a goalkeeper.

"I don't care [about the winter market], I've only been a coach for two years, but I don't see how signing a player in it can be inconvenient," Zidane stated to the assembled press.

"As a coach, I don't need a goalkeeper at the moment. If that changes by June or if we sit down and talk about it, we may sign players in certain positions.

"In two years, no player has arrived in that position and [in June] we can discuss it.

"For now I'll only talk about the players that I have, out of respect for them."

Zidane also insisted that no player is set to leave the team, attributing any speculation to Real's poor position in LaLiga.

"What I said is that I don't want any player to leave the squad. We know that some can arrive until the 31st, but for the moment I say that I don't want anyone. I'm happy with my squad," he noted.

"Last year there were no questions because Madrid had been playing well.

"When the team has a bad moment every now and then, it is reported that we are going to sign players. I'm not that type of coach."
