Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has admitted his admiration for Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

Isco has been a long-term transfer target for Pochettino ever since he joined Spurs.

Ahead of their Champions League encounter on Tuesday, Pochettino was asked about the Spain international.

"All coaches want to buy the best players. Isco is a top player in the world, is enjoying his full maturity at this time," said Pochettino.

"He's really magic."
