Tottenham Hotspur have lined up a January move for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, with the Spaniard likely to join the Premier League club on loan.
Andre Villas-Boas' men have struggled to score goals this season and the Portuguese boss is keen to address that weakness when the window swings back open in the new year.
According to Punto Pelota, Real Madrid are minded to allow Morata to head to White Hart Lane on loan from January until the end of the season.
The Spain Under-21 striker has grown frustrated at a lack of starting opportunities at the Bernabeu and a switch to Tottenham could hand Morata the first team football he craves.
