Real Madrid sign up seven-year-old Brit
Spanish football giants Real Madrid have added a seven-year-old boy from Brighton to their ranks of superstars.
He becomes the latest English player on Real's books following the signings of David Beckham, Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate. Niall will train twice a week for eight months at the academy with his schooling continuing at a local English school. The Mason family, including his mother Mimosa, father Russell and three-year-old sister Maya, are all moving to Madrid where they will live in a flat close to Real's Bernabeu stadium. Despite the presence of the three England stars at the club and a meeting with Beckham, Niall said it is Brazilian striker Ronaldo who he most wants to emulate. He said: "Becks shook my hand and wished me well. But my favourite is the Brazilian Ronaldo because he has so much skill - I wouldn't mind being like him one day." |
