"I don't think much about that," the 22-year-old attacking midfielder said when asked about comparisons with Zinedine Zidane, a 1998 World Cup winner feted as one of the finest talents of his generation.

"I'm Enzo, I'm different, a different player," Zinedine's eldest son insisted of his father, who now coaches Real Madrid, last season leading the Spanish giants to a second successive Champions League title.

Enzo Zidane signed a three-year deal with Alaves having previously played for Real Madrid's third division reserve side Castilla of which his father was coach before taking over the reins of Real's first team.
