Tottenham transfer news: Isco ponders Real Madrid exit for Spurs switch after being offered new contract
Reports claim Mauricio Pochettino is still interested after missing out last summer as playmaker weighs up his options
TOTTENHAM are reportedly still interested in Real Madrid outcast Isco.
The Spanish playmaker is still struggling to establish himself as a first-teamer despite being in his fourth year at the Bernabeu.
The 24-year-old has played a full 90 minutes just twice under Zinedine Zidane, with the switch from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3 damaging his chances even further.
But Tottenham could finally rescue Isco from his Real Madrid nightmare by handing him a lifeline next month.
Mauricio Pochettino tried to sign the midfielder last summer and still believes he has the quality to turn Spurs into true title contenders.
However, reports in Italy claim Isco is also wanted by AC Milan, who will launch a big bid next summer once their £300million takeover by a Chinese consortium is finalised.
There could be another arrival from La Liga in the form of striker Sandro Ramirez, who has been linked with Spurs for a whole year.
And Pochettino is also believed to be plotting a fresh bid for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha after a £12m offer was snubbed in late August.
