Real Madrid are swooping for Lyon defender Ulrik Jenssen.

France Football says Real have sealed a deal to sign 21-year-old central defender Jenssen from Olympique Lyon.

Jenssen signed for the Ligue 1 club in 2013 but has found first-team action hard to come by at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

A Norway under-21 international, Jenssen is viewed as one of the more promising young defenders in Europe and he could soon be wearing the white of Real Madrid Castilla.
