The Real Madrid ace would be an excellent addition for Tottenham Hotspur.

Mauricio Pochettino manager

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be looking to bolster his ranks during the January transfer window, having failed to sign a single player in the summer.

According to the Sun, one of Spurs’ key January targets is Real Madrid ace Isco.

The problem for Tottenham is that the 26-year-old has a €700 million (£629 million) release clause currently inserted into his contract with Los Blancos, according to the Daily Mail.

The north London outfit obviously wouldn’t be able to meet that clause, but there could be hope for Pochettino.

According to a report from the Sun, Isco was booed constantly by the Bernabeu home crowd during Madrid’s shocking 3-0 defeat to CSKA Moscow last night.

Fan power at Madrid is notorious for its influence on player transfers, and after last night’s horror showing, Isco might just be shown the exit door,

Tottenham have to take advantage of the Spain international’s current situation at Madrid, and make a January move for the play-maker.

Isco really would be a sensational signing for Tottenham.

He can play anywhere along the front-line, and possesses exceptional technical ability.

The Spaniard would help lift some of the burden off Christina Eriksen’s shoulders, and if Pochettino manages to bring him to north London, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for Spurs.
