Tottenham Hotspur full-back Pedro Porro has endured a ‘stop-start’ campaign this season. Much like his teammates, the Spain international has struggled to perform consistently and he also lost his place in the starting eleven under Ange Postecoglou midway through the season. The fans have also showcased their frustration with the 25-year-old’s defensive errors.
The Spurs No.23 is one of the best full-backs in Europe while going forward with the ball in his feet. However, Porro lacks the skill needed to defend the goal. The ex-Sporting player has always found life tough when he has faced a tricky or a pacy winger. He tends to lack the composure and the positional awareness needed to defend against a team that thrives in possession.
The Lilywhites have struggled to keep clean sheets in the Premier League this season. Daniel Levy is already in the market to bolster the defence for next season and cash in on underperforming players. The North London club has also endured numerous injuries to key defenders. Due to this, Ange Postecoglou has been forced to play inexperienced players at the back to fill the defensive void left behind by the first-team players.
Tottenham are looking to sell some of their key players in the summer to make space for new arrivals. The Lilywhites are facing a massive squad overhaul once the season ends. After enduring a disastrous domestic campaign, Daniel Levy will aim to cash in on some players as Spurs need to bolster the quality of the squad and bring in new players.
It was reported earlier last week that Spurs were open to sell Pedro Porro for the right price in the summer. The report mentioned that Daniel Levy would consider a bid of around €60-€65 million for the Spaniard as they prepare for life under a new manager next season. The report also added that Barcelona and Manchester City were trying to sign the 25-year-old.
However, the latest updates suggest a twist in the transfer saga. As per Fichajes, Bayern Munich have also entered the race for Pedro Porro. Vincent Kompany is deemed to be a long-term admirer of the attacking full-back and believes that he would be a perfect fit at the Allianz Arena. The aforementioned report also suggests that the Bundesliga giants see Porro connecting with Michael Olise on the right flank.
Daniel Levy will need to make a decision regarding Porro’s future quickly. The Lilywhites would only sell the full-back if the right offer comes in. Now, Spurs have also started their search for a new right-back as they prepare for the possibility of Porro leaving the club in the summer.
Tottenham are interested in signing Vanderson from AS Monaco in the summer. Daniel Levy sees the highly rated right-back as a perfect replacement of Pedro Porro and wants to add the Brazilian to the ranks for next season. Fans will hope that Levy acts quick and replaces Porro, if the Spaniard is bound to leave N17. The Lilywhites need to close the gap on their rivals next season, and signing talented players would be a step in the right direction.
