Report: Tottenham Hotspur tracking Alvaro Morata

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly poised to move for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata when the transfer window reopens next month.

Interest from North London has already been well established, and the departure of Andre Villas-Boas does not seem to have changed the situation at White Hart Lane.

Los Blancos recently said that they would not consider any loan deals for the Spanish Under-21 international, who has stated his desire to fight for his place in Carlo Ancelotti's team.

However, the Daily Mail reports that they may be tempted to let him leave after the emergence of 20-year-old forward Jese, who has impressed enough in eight substitute appearances this season.

Morata, who starred with four goals in this summer's Under-21 European Championships, started in just one of his 10 appearances in La Liga, scoring two.
