Spurs have made a loan-to-buy offer for Real Madrid star Isco but he will only be allowed to leave on a temporary basis, according to the Mirror.

The report claims that Tottenham want the option of purchasing the 24-year old next summer but while the La Liga giants are prepared to let him leave on loan, they are not yet ready to part ways with the Spaniard permanently.

Even if the deal is only a loan, Isco’s arrival at White Hart Lane would be a massive coup and would go a long way towards easing the concerns that have started to arise for Spurs fans.

The Lilywhites have shipped out a considerable amount of squad players and have added just two so far this summer, in Vincent Janssen and Victor Wanyama.

Ryan Mason looks set to be the next departure and there are worries that the Spurs squad is being stretched thin.

Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Pau Lopez are both expected to arrive before the close of the window but a marquee signing, of the likes of Isco, would be a real boost as Spurs look to make a splash in the Champions League this season.
