Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid, but Mauricio Pochettino could use the situation to his advantage to sign a stellar replacement – Isco. Eriksen is yet to sign a contract extension to keep him at the club past 2020, but Tottenham could propose a swap deal to ensure they don’t leave themselves short of a playmaker.
Isco is struggling for form and consistent playing time at Real Madrid this season, having been axed from the starting eleven by Santiago Solari. The 26-year-old has made 14 appearances in all competitions, but he was left out of their most recent Champions League group stage encounter and hasn’t started in La Liga for five weeks.
