The Argentine, 20, joined Spurs last summer in a £13million deal.

But that switch was just as limited minutes-wise as he featured only six times and all off the bench.
Spurs are keen for him to get more experience and with plans to sign a new first-choice striker, they are happy to farm him out.
That has led to the prospect of a straight loan, with no option or obligation to buy, to Espanyol, who were promoted to Spain’s top flight last term.
