Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Pedro Porro in January and can secure his services for €30 million.
Pedro Porro has been a key player for Sporting CP since joining the club. And a report from AS, as relayed by Sport Witness, claims that Tottenham will have to pay around €30 million to sign the highly-rated 23-year-old full-back next month.
Porro has done well for the Portuguese outfit in the UEFA Champions League, and his performances seem to have caught the attention of Antonio Conte. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to fork out the €30 million asking price for the talented defender now.
Tottenham are fourth in the Premier League table, and they will need to improve in order to finish in the top four and challenge for a trophy. Signing someone like Porro in January could give the squad a lift.
The 23-year-old is a reliable defender, and he is very good going forward. The Spanish full-back has nine assists to his name this season, and he would be an upgrade on Djed Spence, Matt Doherty, and Emerson Royal. All three players have failed to impress Conte this season and the Spurs boss is looking to bring in an upgrade.
Porro has the potential to develop into a top-class full-back, and he would be a vital addition to Conte’s system. The Tottenham manager employs a formation that is hugely dependent on the full-backs. And Spurs need a well-rounded option on the right flank, with Porro seeming an ideal fit.
The reported €30 million asking price seems quite reasonable for a talented player like Porro. He could prove to be a bargain in the long run if he continues to develop. A world-class manager like Antonio Conte could also help the player develop further and fulfill his potential. Recent reports have claimed that Spurs are closing in on signing him.
Doherty and Emerson have been linked with moves away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Spence is expected to go out on loan. The arrival of Porro will push all three players down the pecking order and it will be interesting to see if Spurs are prepared to part ways with them next month.
