# Tottenham Hotspur: Pedro Porro deal ‘really close’

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are now ‘really close’ to completing the signing of Sporting Lisbon defender Pedro Porro, according to [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1618366141919023107?s=46&t=PU5MGACQ29SDdvomqh3kkA).**

### The Lowdown: Positive progress

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) giants have held an [interest](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1611349055472369664) in the 23-year-old since the start of the month, having seen an initial offer [rejected](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1617478673333886976) due to the fee being below his €45m (£39m) release clause.

However, Fabio Paratici and his team held a [meeting](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1618362743308054528) on Wednesday to discuss an improved deal, which went as well as could have hoped, and it sounds like the right-back is almost set to seal a move to N17.

### The Latest: Porro deal ‘close’

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1618366141919023107?s=46&t=PU5MGACQ29SDdvomqh3kkA) late on Wednesday night, Romano claimed that Spurs and Sporting have scheduled a final set of negotiations for later today to finalise the deal.

He wrote: “More on Pedro Porro. Understand new round of talks between Tottenham and Sporting on Thursday to get the deal sealed — it’s now ‘really close’, at key stages.

“All parties feel it could be done in the next 24/48 hours. Payment terms are the final point of discussion.”

### The Verdict: Relief for Conte

Porro had [reportedly](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11668379/Tottenham-continue-chase-Sporting-Lisbon-fullback-Pedro-Porro-main-January-target.html) been identified as [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/)’s number one target this month, so after endless speculation, it will be a huge relief for the Tottenham manager to finally get his man over the line.

The Spaniard already has [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pedro-porro/leistungsdaten/spieler/553875) assists to his name this season and has put a remarkable [107](https://fbref.com/en/players/27d0a506/Pedro-Porro) crosses into the opposition penalty box, highlighting the threat that he brings along the flank.

The Sporting full-back also ranks in the [99th percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/27d0a506/Pedro-Porro) for six different statistics among positional peers in Europe’s major leagues over the past 12 months, including shot-creating actions, and will be a hugely exciting signing to follow in the footsteps of [loan arrival](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2023/january/danjuma-joins-on-loan/) Arnaut Danjuma.
