Asensio is highly-rated but endured a tough season as Real struggled for form and results
Asensio, 23, has endured a tough season at the Bernabeu after his excellent 2017/18 campaign, having found the back of the net just once in LaLiga.However, he is a favourite of Zinedine Zidane’s, who was reappointed Los Blancos manager earlier this season, and is expected to play a key role under the France legend moving forward.Nonetheless, Spurs have shown interest in Asensio, who has scored 27 times for Real since debuting in 2016, but they are surely never going to pay the 700m needed to trigger his release clause. Spursare also reportedly interested in signing highly-rated winger Jack Clarke from Leeds.The 18-year-old has impressed at Elland Road this season, making 24 appearances as they narrowly missed out on automatic promotion from the Championship.
