Zidane left Real Madrid last year for Real Betis, where he is making rapid progress. Last season, the 19 year-old centre-half played 12 games for the Betis B team.

Zidane has just over a year to run on his Betis deal and there is an expectation he will break into the first team next season.

Indeed, Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini is set to add Zidane to his preseason training squad next month.
