Zinedine Zidane has acclaimed imminent Real Madrid signing Raphael Varane as the natural successor to his former France
Varane, 18, is expected to complete a move to the Spanish giants next Monday, despite having played just 23 league matches for Lens, who were relegated from the French top flight last season.
Real have reportedly seen off interest from clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, and Zidane believes Varane has the ability to reach the very top.
