Kovacic: I'm so happy to work with a great coach like Benitez

Mateo Kovacic has spoken of his delight at joining Real Madrid, hailing it as the "greatest club in the world" and admits he is expecting great things of himself and the team.

The 21-year-old completed a €35 million move from Inter on Tuesday and was unveiled to the media and Madrid supporters at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

And in his first words as a Blancos player, he insisted that he can fit in anywhere in Rafael Benitez's midfield.

"I'm at the greatest club in the world and this is so special," he told reporters. "I expect a lot from myself and the club.

"I'm not the one who will decide which position I play, but I'm comfortable in the defensive midfield role. It's the coach's decision.

"I talked with Benitez when I met him when he was at Napoli and I'm so happy to work with a great coach like him."
