Rodrygo is having a fine season so far and is now becoming a key player for Real Madrid.

Speaking ahead of the game against Rayo Vallecano, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has said that Rodrygo has the potential to play as a centre-forward.

Asked if he thinks the youngster can reach the level of Ronaldo Nazario, Ancelotti said: “If he reaches that level then that will mean Real Madrid should build a statue of Rodrygo.

“He has so much potential, more as a centre-forward or behind the No.9 than as a winger. I think that’ll be his position.”

Former Real Madrid winger Luis Figo has recently revealed how much he enjoys watching Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.

Figo said: “I look at players who play in my position, and I like to watch Kingsley Coman, Dembélé, Ansu Fati and Rodrygo. I think they are very top players and I enjoy watching them play.”
