Isco, once a reported Tottenham Hotspur target, might be on the move.
If they haven’t already, Tottenham Hotspur pair Daniel Levy and Mauricio Pochettino should probably start drawing up a list of Christian Eriksen replacements.
Eriksen has probably been Tottenham’s best player this season but, with only 18 months left on his contract, Spurs are vulnerable.
At 26, the Danish maestro is at an age where he might be looking to move on, after five-and-a-half years in North London.
And some Lilywhites fans would love Real Madrid wizard Isco as his replacement.
Isco is yet to start a Primera Division game under Santiago Solari, who dropped the Spaniard again for tonight’s visit of Real Sociedad.
With it being January, such a move is bound to raise questions over the 26-year-old’s Madrid future – and Tottenham fans reckon he’s an ideal replacement for Eriksen, if he goes.
Isco is a player admired by Pochettino who, according to The Mirror, came within a ‘whisker’ of signing him two years ago.
Eriksen is perhaps the finest midfielder of his type in Europe at the moment, but Isco is certainly a world-class alternative and it’ll be interesting to see if he is on Spurs’ radar.
