Five La Liga clubs have scored more goals than Real Madrid so far this season.
Whilst it’s no surprise that Barcelona have, that Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Levante and Celta Vigo also have shows how bad things are.
To underline it further, the club are three games off being halfway through the season and have scored 24 goals, whilst over the whole of last season they scored 94 times.
Letting Cristiano Ronaldo leave has clearly had an impact that perhaps Florentino Perez was too arrogant to foresee.
With this in mind, AS look at five options for the January transfer market. Mauro Icardi, Timo Werner, Krzysztof Piątek, Bas Dost and a Tottenham player.
So step forward Fernando Llorente.
That one League Cup goal against West Ham this season must have impressed somebody.
Something of an outcast at Spurs, perhaps it’s felt Llorente would be an easy January signing, but that’s unlikely to be the case unless Tottenham have a squad replacement lined up.
