Borja Mayoral hoping for Real Madrid chance

Mayoral hoping for Real Madrid chance

Borja Mayoral has said that he is hopeful of being handed the chance to impress for Real Madrid this season.

The 20-year-old made six first-team appearances for Los Blancos during the 2015-16 campaign, before spending last term on loan at Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.

Mayoral only managed two goals in 21 appearances for Wolfsburg last season, but the Spain Under-21 international is desperate to prove his worth at the Bernabeu.

"Of course I would like to stay here as I'm at the best club in the world," Mayoral told Marca. "I must speak with [Zinedine] Zidane to see what he believes, but I am happy to be here.

"There is only one centre-forward here (Karim Benzema), so I believe there is a chance. If I have to leave I want to stay in Spain, I am thankful that the club have shown confidence in me after a year abroad which was not very good."

Mayoral joined Real Madrid from local club Parla in 2007.
