Borja Mayoral's loan move from Real Madrid to Wolfsburg has won the approval of Cristiano Ronaldo but the teenage forward lists another Bernabeu star as his idol.
Mayoral agreed a one-year deal with the Bundesliga club on Friday, with an option to extend his stay for a further season.
"I talked to Cristiano Ronaldo and he is happy for me and sees the transfer as a good step for my growth," Mayoral said, as quoted by AS.
"Karim Benzema is my idol. I have focused on him a lot."
"I'm happy to be here as Wolfsburg is a family club and I find myself at ease already," he added.
"My obligation is to score goals but also to take responsibility and give everything for this shirt.
"I had offers from LaLiga but I liked what I saw from Wolfsburg in the Champions League last year. Wolfsburg is the best choice for this season."
