Spurs missed out on signing Georginio Wijnaldum this summer, and are looking to bring in a playmaker behind the striker.

Pochettino’s plan is to land Isco on loan for the remainder of this season.

If the move is successful, Tottenham will have the option of landing the midfielder on a permanent deal next summer.
