Real Madrid's Lucas Vazquez signs new contract

The 25-year-old has been a useful squad option for Real since his return from a loan spell at Espanyol, and manager Zinedine Zidane saw enough to encourage the club to offer Vazquez a new deal.

"Real Madrid C. F. and Lucas Vazquez have agreed the extension of the player's contract, which sees him linked to the club until June 30, 2021," a statement from the club read.

Vazquez is unlikely to force his way into the starting XI, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata way ahead of him the pecking order.

The news of his signature follows hot on the heels of deals for Real Madrid midfielders Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are also reportedly close to agreeing contract extensions.
