The striker has arrived on-loan RB Leipzig injured.

He said at today's presentation: "I feel better than when I had the injury. Every day I am closer to return; but I don't want to venture a day because it was my first muscle injury and I have to listen to the doctors.

"Since I had the injury, I have always been working. I feel very capable of being very soon playing. But people who understand more about the injury give me a deadline to be more patient.

“Why La Real? The first feeling I had was when I played here, in this stadium, and I loved it. I scored the goal and it wasn't very good for Real, but for me, since I played that game, I felt very good things.

"The opportunity arose, the interest of the Real, I spoke with my agents and it was something that I wanted to achieve soon. For the good things I felt and heard. That was the most important thing. Also going back to the Spanish league, because I felt very good when I was here, because of the atmosphere, because of the type of game.

"I am delighted to be in this team and to be able to help and be one more to help Real".
