Frenchman Gael Kakuta offered countryman Raphael Varane a glowing endorsement.
Sevilla winger Gael Kakuta said Raphael Varane has all of the attributes to captain Real Madrid in the future.
"Varane has all of the attributes needed to be the future captain of Real Madrid," said Kakuta, who signed a four-year deal with Sevilla on Thursday.
"I know him very well; when we started out at Lens, we would sit next to each other on the team's away trips. We're both originally from Lille and although he is a bit younger than me, I'd already heard a lot of good things about him.
