David Alaba explains taking Sergio Ramos number at Real Madrid

David Alaba is delighted with his move to Real Madrid.

The Bosman signing from Bayern Munich was presented to the local media on Wednesday morning at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Alaba said, "For me it is a dream that comes true. It is the biggest club in the world and of course it fills me with pride to be here. So all I can say is that I hope to put on the jersey now and play here."

It's been confirmed Alaba will wear the No4 shirt vacated by former captain Sergio Ramos.

He continued: "Well, I spoke to the club about that. They offered me this number, because there was no other possible number. I know what this number means for the club. For me, wearing it is something that motivates me a lot. It is a number that shows strength and leadership. I'm going to give it my all.

"I have not come here to compare myself with other players, I am here to be David Alaba and continue being who I am. This is my goal, although I also want to contribute my abilities and my strengths."
