Real Madrid ponder move for FC Istres defender Florian Lejeune

Real Madrid are trawling the French youth transfer market for unpolished gems.

FC Istres defender Florian Lejeune is being tracked by Real, says L'Equipe.

Real are weighing up a January move for the 19 year-old, who refuses to get carried away by the interest.

"I always want to improve, but now I keep working, and I'm learning. I want to gain experience with other players and to play at this level," said Lejeune.
