The 19-year-old’s trusty defensive abilities have gained plaudits from various personalities in the footballing world, including fellow French internationals Laurent Koscielny and Hugo Lloris.
The increased spotlight on Varane has also seen him linked with a number of clubs, including Manchester United.
