Travellers planning to book cheap flights to Spain for their holiday this summer may wish to pack a football to take with them for a kick-about on the beach.
And by doing so they will be following in the footsteps of a number of budding players who have trained at a Spanish football academy recently opened by Glenn Hoddle.
The Glenn Hoddle Academy is situated in Andalucia where the sun shines all year round.
And footie fans may be interested to learn that the concept of the academy was to offer trials to young footballers who had previously been told they were not champion material.
It seems the academy is now paying off as one of its students - Iketchi Anya - has been signed by Sevilla and is likely to play in next season's Champions League.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Hoddle said: "The likes of Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney are always going to get fast tracked. But some players develop later."
His comments may inspire holidaymakers to practice their own ball skills following cheap flights to Spain, but Andalucia has plenty more to offer in terms of sporting fun in the sun, including a number of world-class golf courses.
Book cheap flights to Spain online from as low as £9.99 with Jet2.com, the friendly low fares airline.
