Lucas Vazquez is going home.

The 24-year-old winger, who spent last season on loan with Espanyol, will return to Real Madrid this summer, as the capital-based club has exercised an option to bring their academy product back to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Vazquez scored three goals and added six assists in 34 La Liga appearances with Espanyol last season, but will almost certainly be hard-pressed to get that much playing time in 2015-16 with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale at the top of the pecking order.
