Chelsea and Tottenham are battling it out to sign Sporting CP right-back Pedro Porro this January, with contact being made over a deal, as per recent reports. The former Manchester City defender has impressed for the Portuguese club, having joined permanently last summer following a successful loan spell.
His performances, particularly in the Champions League, have not gone unnoticed, with plenty of promise for the 23-year-old to continue improving. Spurs were the first side linked with a switch as Antonio Conte looks to improve on his current squad amid a dip in form.
Given the importance of wing-backs in the Italian's current and favoured system, the move for Porro could be huge for his January transfer plans. "The wing-back is really important if you play with three at the back," Conte said when asked about his ideal wing-back.
