Real Madrid: Zinedine Zidane is not interested in signing any striker this winter

Real Madrid were looking like they were on the right track a couple of games ago. Then they drew three back-to-back games. The most upsetting part about it is that they could have won all three games. It was their poor finishing quality that held them back. Los Blancos were brilliant in the midfield against Valencia, Barcelona and Real Bilbao. Unfortunately, they couldn't capitalize on the chances they created. Some may say that Real Madrid are lacking vitamin C (Cristiano Ronaldo) in their squad but nothing can be done about it now. Karim Benzema is doing his best upfront and his injury-time strike helped Real Madrid clinch a point against Valencia.

"Real Madrid won't sign a striker" - Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid have a top-class striker in their bag as they signed Luka Jovic for big money this summer. Jovic has, however, not been on the clock much. The Siberian has just found the net once this season. However, Zinedine Zidane is not interested in signing any striker when the winter transfer window opens this January. Zidane, in a post-match interview, was asked if he would sign any striker. To which, he replied, "No. Absolutely not, I don't see the need to sign a striker." The draw against Athletic was the fifth time this season that Real Madrid failed to score in a game.
