Florentino Pérez hasn't wasted any time and has secured a major future signing for Real Madrid. Relevo has revealed that next season, the young León Westin will join La Fábrica, leaving Las Palmas at the age of 16. He is a left-footed midfielder who can also play as a central defender, standing out for his great technique and tactical understanding... and whom they already compare to Toni Kroos.
León Westin: The New Toni Kroos Plays for Real Madrid
The Swedish midfielder has been desired by major teams, both from Spain and the rest of Europe. Those who have seen him play describe him as "a copy of Toni Kroos" and also highlight his enormous potential. The idea is for him to start his career at Real Madrid playing for the youth C team... Although it is not ruled out that he might skip stages (something unusual at the merengue club) and start higher up.
León Westin is the first signing of a Real Madrid that expects to be very active this summer to make significant changes at La Fábrica. The team hasn't competed as desired this season, and the plan is to try to strengthen the lower categories with important talents from other academies.
Maximum Trust in León Westin
At Real Madrid, they believe they can take León Westin to the next level, aiming to become one of the best midfielders in Europe. He is an international for Sweden in the lower categories and has considered that the best for his development is to join La Fábrica.
It is important to remember that Madrid is the team that contributes the most academy players to the five major leagues in Europe, which means they do their job well. This has been key in convincing León Westin, who has rejected offers from other top-tier clubs.
Looking ahead to the next season, Westin will try to have a prominent role in the merengue academy, continuing his evolution to grow by leaps and bounds. With Xabi Alonso's arrival on Madrid's bench, many academy players are already dreaming of having the opportunity to debut sooner rather than later. Something that, with Ancelotti, doesn't happen earlier.
