Tottenham joined by Leeds United in the race for Real Madrid ace Lucas Vazquez

According to Sport Witness, as relayed by The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are set to face competition from Leeds United in the race to sign Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez.

A product of the Real Madrid youth academy, Vazquez broke into the senior team in 2015 after a successful loan spell away at Espanyol. And while he may not have been the biggest name in the squad, the 29-year-old has constantly proven his worth with hard-working displays and versatile nature.

However, Vazquez is out of contract with Real Madrid at the end of the season. And negotiations over a new deal haven’t gone as per plans, casting major doubts on his future at the Spanish capital outfit.

This has led to interest in the winger from Tottenham, who had also been linked with the 29-year-old last summer as well. In addition, Serie A giants AC Milan are also keeping a close eye on Vazquez’s situation and now, Leeds United have also entered the fray to try and sign the winger once his contract expires.
