Tottenham Hotspur might be readying an offer to sign Pedro Porro.
The former Manchester City player is being linked with a transfer to Spurs quite a lot.
In fact, Tottenham are reported to have contacted City last week about the 23-year-old Spaniard, as covered by HITC Sport.
And now the North Londoners have reportedly opened negotiations with Sporting about signing the wing-back.
That is according to Spanish outlet AS, who also claim that a £26.2 million offer may being readied by Antonio Conte’s outfit.
The Lilywhites need a major replacement for Emerson Royal.
Well, not a replacement per se, but an upgrade is massively important.
It speaks volumes about Conte’s lack of options at right wing-back when Emerson, a disaster a lot of the time, is the best man available for the job, ahead of Matt Doherty and Djed Spence who has barely featured since his summer move to North London.
Tottenham are fourth in the Premier League table ahead of the return of club football and signing an upgrade on Emerson could be massive.
The former Barcelona right-back is a liability at the best of times and he could seriously cost Conte’s side points during the second half of the campaign.
Whether Porro is the right man for the job, though, remains to be seen.
