Tottenham are trying to bring in Sporting CP’s Pedro Porro this January and speaking about the links to London, the right-back has said he is happy at his current club.
Tottenham held talks with Sporting on Monday regarding a deal for Porro but a move is far from being complete as more talks are scheduled in order to bring the 23-year-old to North London, reports the Daily Mail.
Speaking about the links to Spurs, the Sporting defender told SportTV via Fabrizio Romano: “I’m not talking about the possibilities on the market — about staying nor about leaving.
“I’m focused on Sporting and I’m happy here.”

According to the Mail, Porro has a £40m buy-out clause and so far Sporting do not want to sell their star until that fee is met – with Tottenham also reluctant to match that asking price.
Porro could be an excellent signing for Tottenham as the Spaniard has a very high attacking output for a wing-back, which is an important role in Antonio Conte’s system. The 23-year-old has scored two goals and assisted a further 10 across 23 matches this season and it is why Sporting do not want to let him go for less than £40m.
There is a long way to go in the negotiations but as of now, Porro is focused and happy at Sporting.
