Racing Santander are battling to secure Sporting Cristal wing ace Damian Ismodes.

Racing directors are waiting on a response from the Peru international's management over their five-year contract offer. Racing chief Jesus Merino said: "He is a player, who if he must leave his club will come here.

"He is not a player who has an urgent necessity to play as a starter. We want to grow together and little by little he will become a fine player.

"Until he is signed, I am not going to confirm or deny anything."
