Stuttgart midfielder Chema playing his way to Real Madrid return

The young Spanish midfielder left Real in the summer for Germany and Stuttgart.

Chema signed permanently with VfB for €3m, though the deal includes a buy-back option for Real.

And AS says Real management have been impressed by the instant impact made by Chema in the Bundesliga.

At Real, they see Chema as a potential replacement - or at least cover - for midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni for next season.
