The former Mexico striker said: "I love his style.

"Before he came, I was asked who should be leading the attack of Real Madrid and I responded that it was him. His style is made for this team. I would have liked to have seen him here four years earlier.

"Real Madrid is known, among many other things, for signing the best forwards on the planet. I identify with him because of his goals, although our styles are a little different.

"He will get many trophies being top scorer in this shirt, as I did."
