Real Madrid are eyeing up a surprise move for Espanyol striker Joselu, according to reports in Spain.
The 33-year-old former Newcastle flop has enjoyed a superb season at Barcelona's city rivals, scoring 16 LaLiga goals in 32 appearances despite the side's relegation to the second tier.
While Real are considering their summer business as they look to bounce back from a disappointing season which saw them finish well adrift of title winners Barca and knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City.
The Spanish giants are keen to provide cover and competition for veteran forward Karim Benzema, 35, with his current deputy Mariano Diaz set to leave this summer and Alvaro Rodriguez just 18 years old.
