Tottenham Intensifies Efforts to Secure one of their full back Signatures as Man city shows strong interest

Tottenham are pulling out all the stops to prevent Pedro Porro from joining Man City.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who remains well connected at his old club, believes Ange Postecoglou will be doing everything to keep hold of the Spain international.

The 25-year-old right-back has been a regular in the Spurs team this season, having played in every Premier League game so far.

However, the defending Premier League champions are monitoring his progress as the club views him as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker.

It will take a big offer to secure his services considering Porro is under contract at Tottenham until 2028.

Football Insider revealed the club values him at £80million, but his eight goals and 10 assists in 63 Spurs appearances has made him a target for Man City.

Man City could consider a move for Pedro Porro

“[I] Wouldn’t like to see it from a Tottenham point of view,” Robinson told Football Insider.

“He’s certainly one that is on the radar for Manchester City.

“From Tottenham’s point of view, they are fighting tooth and nail to keep him.

“If they want to be competing in those Champions League places, you need players like that and you certainly don’t need to be selling, I’m going to say, to ‘rivals’.

“Now Tottenham aren’t really title contenders are they? So they’re not really a direct rival, but actually a player like Poro would fit into that Manchester City team.

“When he plays in that hybrid role, he’s a player who often finds himself isolated up the pitch, high up the pitch, but his quality lies in the final third with his delivery, with his visions, with his passes.

“And he’s got great delivery as well and he’s not afraid to shoot.

“He’s definitely a player that you could see working in that Pep Guardiola system, as much as that pains me to say it.”
