Theo Hernandez is excited to be moving to Real Madrid.

The youngster impressed on loan at Alaves from Atletico Madrid last season, so much so that he is set to make a crosstown switch this summer.

Although the move has been delayed for the moment, a 26 million euro transfer is expected to be announced in the coming days.

"I'm excited, thrilled to play alongside the best players in the world," he said while on holiday in Los Angeles.

"It is a dream come true ever since I was a child."
