DIARRA WILL BE A REAL SUCCESS: LAUREN
Lassana Diarra will be a great success at Real Madrid and will prove to be as good a player as Claude Makelele for the Spanish giants, according to his Portsmouth team-mate Lauren.
The French international midfielder is due to seal his move from Fratton Park on Thursday following an accepted bid of £20m and a medical.
And Lauren said of the 23-year–old former Chelsea and Arsenal player: “I like Lassana a lot as a footballer and, not just because he is a team-mate of mine at Portsmouth.
“He is a player of proven quality, very professional, young and he is high-grade player. I am convinced that he can succeed at Real Madrid.
“He seems to have the characteristics on the field of Makelele, and perhaps more. He has a brilliant long pass and can assist the forwards in attack.
“Since the rumors linking him with Real Madrid he has been very happy. He has told us is determined to take the leap to the Spanish league. I think that he can succeed there."
