Real Madrid starlet becomes first teen to reach assists milestone

Real Madrid teenager Marco Asensio has become the first teenager to register five assists across Europe’s top five leagues this season.

Asensio, 19, has been earning rave reviews on loan at Espanyol since the start of the campaign.

The Spain Under-21 international’s performances have even seen him linked with a return to the Santiago Bernebau this season, although he has previously down played those suggestions.

The highly-rated teen continued his fine form in Espanyol’s 2-0 win over the weekend to register his fifth assist of the season. Added to that, only Hernan Perez (7.16) has garnered a higher WhoScored rating than Asensio (7.10) for Sergio Gonzalez’s side this season.
