Asensio has long been rated as one of the most exciting prospects in European football, although this season he has struggled to make progress.

At 23, Asensio is at an interesting stage in his career, as he is beginning to creep towards what should be his peak years.

At his best, Asensio is one of the most enjoyable players to watch in La Liga, as he possesses many attacking gifts.

The playmaker's left foot is dangerous, as he can thread passes into dangerous areas, fizz crosses into the penalty area and hammer shots at goal from distance.

While Real are loaded with attacking talent, Asensio can help Toni Kroos, Isco, Luka Modric, Eden Hazard, and others form an even more dangerous offense.

"I have spoken to him and told him that he will be fundamental to the team," Zidane said. "

Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Karim Benzema, and Luka Modric will all be between the ages of 30 and 33 before the start of next season, so moving on one or two of them to fund new arrivals would be a shrewder move.
