Lucas Silva was officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Monday and could barely contain his delight.

The 21 year old midfielder has signed a five and a half year contract and will wear the number 16 shirt. Madrid coughed up €14 million for one of Brazil’s brightest prospects.

Silva was at the centre of a battle between Arsenal and Real Madrid for his signature after helping Cruzeiro win the Brasileirão championship. The youngster made it clear that Madrid was his preferred destination and seemed relieved to have completed the move.

“I am very happy to be here, realising a dream. I thank the president of the Cruzeiro for understanding my dream, and the president of Real Madrid for trusting me. I come to learn and help. Everything is happening very fast, but I come prepared to honor that shirt.”
