Real Madrid has signed a seven-year-old football prospect from Argentina, who goes by the name Leo.
Leonel Angel Coira has signed with the Spanish club and will begin training Sept. 6, Madrid spokesman Juan Tapiador tells The Associated Press.
Argentine sports daily Ole reported last week that Coira had become the youngest player signed by Madrid but Tapiador said he is not.
That's getting dangerously close to Toddlers & Tiaras territory (creepiest and most awful show on television -- and I say this based upon never actually seeing it, I just rely on 'The Soup' to guide my opinion).
