Real Madrid target three of world's best superkids over next year

Real Madrid are ready to go on another teenage recruiting drive over the next 12 months.

Real president Florentino Perez remains determined to identify and sign the world's best young players, despite disappointment over Martin Odegaard's progress, now on-loan with Heerenveen.

In Europe, Real are eyeing Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont, who at 18 has been their No1 for the past two seasons.

From South America, Real are watching Huachipato midfielder Yeferson Soteldo. And in Asia they're keen on Takefusa Kubo, of FC Tokyo.

Kubo is a former Barcelona junior.
