Elyas Zidane defers France-Algeria choice, focused on Red Star breakthrough

Youngest Zidane son Elyas, 20, has declined to choose between France and Algeria, saying all options remain open at this early stage of his career.

• Zidane, signed by Red Star as a free agent from Real Betis last summer, has featured in seven of the club's first eight matches.
• In an interview with Le Parisien, Zidane said he was not ready to commit to France or Algeria, preferring to concentrate on the pitch.
• Zidane said he wants to write his own story and will keep "Elyas" on his shirt instead of the family name.
• Zidane, 20, said coach Damien Perrinelle's approach convinced him that the move to Red Star matched his vision.
