Real Madrid legend Fernando Hierro is convinced Isco can be a world-beater.

However, he says the midfielder needs to be playing regularly.

He told Goal: “It's difficult. It's difficult for me to give an opinion on a guy that I've known since he was 15 years old. I saw him play in a regional competition.

"I went to la Rioja to see him because I had been told that Valencia had a lad from Benalmádena with immense talent. You arrive and you ask yourself where the talented one is. After 10 minutes watching him I left the pitch: 'I've seen everything already'. Isco needs to play and feel important, feel the confidence in him. With that and his talent, he has it all."
