All eyes were on the former Tottenham Hotspur superstar to take the leading role at the Santiago Bernabeu following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo who left for Juventus during the summer, but he has failed to meet up with the expectations so far.
Even though the attacker has recorded 9 goals to his name across all competitions so far during the term, he has not been a reliable figure at the club as he has had to deal with recurring injury concerns as well as inconsistent displays.
With youngster Vinicius Junior and Lucas Vazquez making strong cases for themselves, the Welshman could be forced to think about his future anytime soon.
