Real Madrid’s Isco cuts the net from the goalposts after winning the UEFA Champions League
Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move for the Real Madrid midfielder Isco over the past 24 hours.
The Spanish international is not a regular at the Bernabeu under the guidance of Zinedine Zidane and has therefore been linked with a move to White Hart Lane.
He has also been linked with a move to former club Malaga, although the general consensus has been that it may be too late for him to push through any exit from Real before the close of the transfer window this evening.
Now the player himself has confirmed this.

Isco is quoted by Cuatro TV in Madrid as simply stating, “I stay, I stay,” when asked about his future this afternoon.
The news will put the final nail in the coffin of any interest from Spurs in the player – although it had been reported in Spain for some time now that the deal was unlikely to go ahead.
Tottenham are trying to tie down deals for the likes of Pau Lopez and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou today with the likes of Moussa Sissoko and Diego Alves also mentioned.
But Isco will not be heading to White Hart Lane.
