The Real Madrid ace would be an excellent signing for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be looking to bolster his ranks in January, having failed to sign a single player during the summer transfer window.
One particular ares where the Argentine will be looking to improve is his attacking department, with more competition required for Harry Kane.
With this in mind, Poch should consider a move for Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio, with the 22-year-old currently struggling in La Liga.
And if Pochettino does manage to bring the Spain international to Tottenham, it would be their most exciting signing since Jurgen Klinsmann joined from Monaco in the summer of 1994.
Asensio is one of the most exciting young talents on the continent, and he would be a superb addition for Spurs.
He can play anywhere along the front-line, and the blistering pace that he possesses, combined with his exceptional technique, would provide Pochettino with something that he doesn’t currently have at his disposal.
At the age of just 22, Asensio will surely continue to improve even further still, and he could very well go on to become a superstar in the game.
The Madrid ace will not come cheap, however.
Tottenham could always offer Toby Alderweireld to the Champions League holders as part of a potential deal for Asensio, with Los Blancos desperate for a world class centre-back.
Whilst losing the Belgian would be hard to stomach for Spurs fans, the opportunity to bring in someone’s with Asensio’s undoubted quality would surely be too good to turn down.
Pochettino must do everything within his power to bring the Spaniard to north London – it could turn out to be the signing that helps turn Tottenham from a very good side into a truly elite one.
