# Tottenham: Spurs ‘due to resume’ Pedro Porro talks

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are set for new talks soon as they keep chasing the signing of Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Porro before January 31.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs make Porro offer…

The Lilywhites, earlier this week, made an official bid to sign the former Man City wing-back according to reliable transfer journalist [Fabrizio Romano.](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1615747694009384962)

The offer amounted to one player plus guaranteed money to secure the services of Porro, but according to Romano, Sporting rejected this formula and continue to ask for his [€45 million (£39m) release clause.](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1615747694009384962)

Antonio Conte is chasing Champions League qualification for the second-successive campaign and is [reportedly](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/conte-wants-him-italian-journalist-says-40m-star-is-tottenham-s-main-target/ar-AA16wPTz) after Porro to upgrade his options at wing-back.

The north Londoners squandered a two-goal lead on Thursday night as [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) champions Man City sealed a 4-2 comeback win at the Etihad Stadium.

This result highlights the need to strengthen and it appears Tottenham haven’t given up on Porro.

### The Latest: Tottenham set for fresh Porro talks…

According to [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11656083/Tottenham-make-loan-bid-sign-Roma-star-Nicolo-Zaniolo.html), Spurs are ‘due to resume talks’ with Sporting for the 23-year-old after making their offer earlier this week.

They add that Porro is ‘regarded as one of the best attacking right-backs in Europe’ but his club keep insisting that Tottenham must pay his exit clause.

It’s added that the Spaniard is keen on a move to north London.

### The Verdict: Make the move…

The young defender, who has stood as one of Sporting’s best players so far this season, would undoubtedly boost Tottenham’s options at right-back.

As per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/296/Show/Portugal-Sporting-CP), his status as an elite attack-minded full-back is seriously backed by the numbers as Porro ranks in the club’s top two for shots at goal and key passes made per 90.

The defender also [tops their charts](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/296/Show/Portugal-Sporting-CP) for league assists over 2022/2023, something which will undoubtedly attract Conte to the signing of Porro this month.

Called a [‘special’](https://twitter.com/ZachLowy/status/1583935801309601792) player by members of the media, Sky Sports pundit Kevin Hatchard has claimed Porro has gone up a level under Sporting boss Ruben Amorim and that he is [‘perfect’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2023/01/blogs/premier-league/tottenham-hotspur/tottenham-hotspur-transfer-rumours-sky-sports-pedro-porro-antonio-conte/) for Conte.

It appears he could be the right answer to provide some more attacking flair on Spurs’ right-flank.
