Tottenham eyeing Real Madrid ace Isco

Tottenham are eyeing Real Madrid ace Isco as a replacement for Christian Eriksen.

ESPN says Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will target the 27-year-old playmaker if Eriksen decides against renewing his contract.

The Denmark international, also 27, has been offered a new five-year deal worth £60million to stay in North London.

But Eriksen is believed to be keen on a fresh challenge after entering his seventh season at Spurs.

Reports say Spurs have already sought out Sporting Lisbon's £65million-rated Bruno Fernandes as a replacement.

But it has now been claimed Pochettino will instead move for Isco, who has scored 35 goals in 187 games for Madrid, should the Spaniard be available.
