Tottenham must pursue potential signing of Dani Ceballos.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly still keen on signing Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos, according to Calcio Mercato.
Ceballos has struggled for regular game time since his summer move from Real Betis, and his situation is understandably attracting interest from clubs in England and Italy.
Signing Ceballos would not only be a major coup for the club, but it would see them finally inflict revenge on Madrid for taking Luka Modric away from them.
Spurs sold Modric for £30 million in 2012, a fee which has gone onto look ridiculously cheap.
Ceballos, 21, was signed by Real as a potential successor to the Croatian, with Spanish newspaper Marca reporting Madrid see Ceballas as the ‘natural heir’ to Modric.
If Real are then foolish enough to sell Ceballos after just a few months, Tottenham should snap their hand off and try to strike a deal.
Just like how Modric has enjoyed the best years of his career in Madrid, Spurs would be acquiring Ceballos for the best years of his.
Ceballos has started only two La Liga games this season, plus just four substitute appearances, and has still managed to net twice.
January is the perfect time for Tottenham to put Madrid’s commitment to the midfielder to the test.
