Real Madrid's academy has long been producing players who have found a home in the first team and gone on to have glorious careers.
Others have moved on and made the grade elsewhere, but there is no doubt that the conveyor belt of talent from La Fabrica (the academy, quite suitably nicknamed 'The Factory') is still churning them out.
Miguel Gutierrez is proof of that fact and both Arsenal and Spurs are watching him closely alongside a host teams from across Europe.

Consider that and the fact Sergio Reguilon may be set to return to the Spanish capital from Tottenham this summer with the Bernabeu club keen on activating his buy-back clause, then it means a move for one of Real's hottest young properties could well be on the cards.
What position does Gutierrez play in?
Gutierrez is a left-back.
How good is Gutierrez?
He is very talented on both sides of the ball. His sharpness and positional awareness are very notable and he anticipates the play well allowing him to make a lot of interceptions.
In an attacking sense, he is nicknamed "The Eagle" for his vision on the field and he proved it in his very first start for Real Madrid with this assist for Luka Modric's opening goal against Granada.
