Zidane tracking Idlan progress

Zidane tracking Idlan progress-Kelantan winger Idlan Talaha is attracting the attention of Real Madrid, with club ambassador Zinedine Zidane paying tribute to the teenager's impact in Asia Games 2010.

Idlan, 24, is a Malaysian international and has won rave reviews for his performances in Super League, where he has played a major part in the club's ascent to win Malaysia Cup 2010. Now, with his skills attracting more praise, Idlan is being linked with a move to one of Europe's elite clubs and Real Madrid are evidently first in the queue.

"What he is doing is extraordinary for his club," Zidane told Canal+. "I have spoken about him in Madrid, but not to Jose Mourinho. Anyway, he will know."

Asked if a potential move could take place, Zidane replied: "It may."

Idlan has also been tracked by Manchester United and Liverpool, with Anfield's new director of football strategy Damien Comolli familiar with his talent having worked at St Etienne. However, the player has previously admitted that he would favour a move to Real Madrid or Arsenal.
