Tottenham and Real Madrid stars could both do with a change.

Spain's midfielder Isco celebrates after scoring a goal during a friendly football match between Spain and Argentina at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on March 27, 2018.

Tottenham Hotspur have been speculatively linked with a move for Real Madrid attacker Isco.

It’s not the first time. The latest links come from El Desmarque in Spain, suggesting Spurs could be favourites for the midfielder.

Tottenham have been linked to Isco for years, without any progress.

Now perhaps, Isco could be reaching his final straw at the Bernabeu.

Once again manager Zinedine Zidane has failed to take a shine to him and he has started just one La Liga game all season. He only has another two appearances from the bench.

Tottenham though have their own problem player to deal with, Christian Eriksen.

Eriksen’s contract is expiring and Real Madrid have shown interest, AS report. It makes a lot of sense for Tottenham to get rid of a wantaway player in January before losing him for free.

It would be an even more sensible move for Tottenham and Real to thrash out a swap deal to suit all parties.

Spurs and Real would win, so would their managers, and so would both players. Both sets of supporters would probably be pretty happy with the outcome.

Isco, at 27, needs a new challenge in his career and he would potentially be a great addition for Tottenham.

This upcoming transfer window is Tottenham’s last chance to land Isco in a swap deal for Eriksen and they should seriously consider it.
