Premier League duo interested in Isco

Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester City are said to be interested in a January move for Real Madrid midfield Isco.

The Spain international has barely started a league game for Los Blancos this season, and this has led to claims that he may seek fresh pastures elsewhere in 2016.

City have been long linked with the 24-year-old midfielder, but a deal could hinder on whether the player could earn a regular starting place at the Etihad.

This is likely to give a head start to the Blues who are desperate to add a new attacker, who could change the club's fortunes in the second half of the campaign.

Chelsea have had a disastrous start to their league defence, and currently find themselves lingering in 15th place in as many games.
