Enzo Zidane 'heading for Alaves on loan'

Real Madrid midfielder Enzo Zidane is reportedly closing in on a season-long loan to Alaves.

The 22-year-old, who is the son of Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, made his senior debut for Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey last season, coming off the bench to score in a 6-1 win over Cultural Leonesa.

The midfielder has managed seven goals in 72 appearances for Real Madrid Castilla, but it is understood that the former France Under-19 international is desperate to secure regular football during the 2017-18 campaign.

According to Marca, Zidane's move to Alaves could be announced this week, with the club building a good relationship with Real Madrid after taking Spanish midfielder Marcos Llorente on loan last season.

Enzo is the oldest son of Los Blancos boss Zidane, while his three youngster brothers - Luca Zidane, Theo Zidane and Elyaz Zidane - also all play in the Real Madrid youth academy.
