The hunt for a new striker continues at Tottenham, and the never-ending search for the man that could replace Harry Kane has led the north London club to Spain, where an interesting name has popped up.
Jose Mourinho has phoned Real Madrid president Florentino Perez about signing Luka Jovic this month.
The 22-year-old has only started four league games for the Spanish giants following a £51m move in the summer.
