# Tottenham: Spurs prepare Isco contract offer

**According to [The Sunday Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/) (06/06, p77) \[via [HITC](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/06/06/report-tottenham-planned-to-sign-isco-for-14m/)\], Tottenham are prepared to give Real Madrid’s Isco a three-year contract, although there has been a slight complication.**

### **The Lowdown: Spurs looking for new signings**

Although Spurs remain without a permanent manager after Jose Mourinho was relieved of his duties in April, the club are still planning ahead towards the new campaign.

That is likely to mean new arrivals, and one well-known name has popped up.

### **The Latest: Spurs eye Isco**

It has been reported that Tottenham are ready to offer a three-year deal to Isco which would be worth £14m.

However, the return of Carlo Ancelotti to the Santiago Bernabeu could make a deal more complicated, as per [The Sunday Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/) (06/06, p77) \[via [HITC](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/06/06/report-tottenham-planned-to-sign-isco-for-14m/)\]

### **The Verdict: Worth a punt**

At times, Isco has been an absolute joy to behold. Throughout his career, he has managed 70 goals and 67 assists ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/isco/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/85288)) and has won the Champions League [four times](https://www.transfermarkt.com/isco/erfolge/spieler/85288). Previously hailed for his “magic” by Mauricio Pochettino ([Marca](https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2017/10/16/59e4ec82e2704e36018b460a.html)), he has even been compared to Spain legend Andres Iniesta in the past due to his style of play ([Goal.com](https://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spanish-football/2015/03/30/10299892/isco-dont-compare-me-to-iniesta)).

The last few seasons have been difficult for the 29-year-old. Over the last three La Liga campaigns, he has managed just [34](https://www.transfermarkt.com/isco/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/85288/saison//verein/0/liga/0/wettbewerb//pos/0/trainer_id/0/plus/1) starts, appearing to fall out of favour under Zinedine Zidane. However, his talent and ability is clear for all to see given his achievements at the Bernabeu, and a new start at Tottenham could be the best move for all involved.
