# Tottenham handed boost in race to sign Real Madrid attacker

**Tottenham Hotspur desperately need things to go their way to turn around their horrific start to the new Premier League season.**

Roberto De Zerbi’s side are 20th in the table and have failed to click into gear despite signing ten new players in the summer.

In attack, Tottenham have struggled to put the ball into the back of the net and could do well with another attacker in January.

And now, if reports are to be believed, Real Madrid are willing to loan out Endrick midway through the season as he continues to struggle for game time.

## Tottenham target Endrick could be loaned out in January

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/real-madrid-make-decision-on-selling-endrick-to-arsenal-after-talks-with-frustrated-forward) confirm that Real Madrid are willing to sanction a temporary exit for the Brazilian, who is wanted by some of the biggest clubs in the world, including Tottenham.

The report also confirms that they will only agree to a loan move, with a permanent departure ruled out under any circumstances.

Endrick is still highly rated at the club, but the La Liga giants acknowledge that he needs to play regularly to carry on developing.

The young Brazilian could be an intriguing option for Tottenham as he can play out wide and lead the line.

And for a straight loan deal, there isn’t much to lose for Tottenham, so this is a deal that could have legs.
