Real Madrid attacker Isco is the subject of interest from three top Premier League sides, report Spanish news outlet Diario Madrista.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City are all keen on signing the Spanish international in the January transfer window.

Isco is rated as one of Spain’s top talents, but has fallen out of favour at Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane.

Linked with a move away late in the transfer window, Isco decided to stick it out and fight for his place at the Bernabeu.

It has not gone well. He has not started a single game since the deadline, making just three substitute appearances.

Tottenham, Manchester City and Arsenal are looking like the three best teams in the Premier League so far this season, and are separated by just three points.

Adding a star like Isco, still just 24, to any of the three clubs, would be a major boost for them in the title race, and even prove to be the player who decides the outcome.

All three clubs will fancy their chances of doing a deal given Isco’s lack of game time.

City will hope Pep Guardiola could be a decisive factor, while Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is well aware of him from his time in Spain at Espanyol.

Arsenal have looked to Spain in recent months, adding Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi.
