Spain alerted as Algeria U20 call up Atletico Madrid youngster Rayane Belaid

Spain and Algeria are battling for Atletico Madrid youngster Rayane Belaid.

The 18 year-old striker is among the outstanding talents of Fernando Torres' Atletico youth team.

While born in Alicante, Belaid also qualifies for Algeria and has been called up to the U20 squad for a tournament in Tunisia next month.

Belaid is yet to be capped by Spain, though Marca says scouts have been watching the teen's progress.

The youngster did turn out for Algeria U18s in one game as a 16 year-old.
