Real Madrid 'eye Alvaro Odriozola swoop'

Real Sociedad defender Alvaro Odriozola is reportedly a summer transfer target for Spanish champions Real Madrid.

The 21-year-old made his Spain debut against Albania in October, and is widely expected to be a part of the La Roja squad that travels to the 2018 World Cup due to his impressive form for Sociedad.

Indeed, the full-back has made 15 La Liga appearances for Sociedad this season - providing four assists from a defensive position.

According to Marca, Odriozola will be Madrid's number one defensive target at the end of the season, with Los Blancos prepared to activate his £35m release clause in order to complete a deal.

Odriozola is a product of Sociedad's youth academy, having joined the Basque club at the age of 10.
