"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.

Last season, Enzo made a scoring debut for Real in the King's Cup, and has played 78 games for Castilla.
