Pedro Porro breaks his silence on Tottenham deadline day transfer after Sporting CP breakthrough

Pedro Porro will finally complete his protracted move to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day. Heavily tipped to sign the talented right wing-back for some time, Spurs will now wrap up a deal for the 23-year-old after overcoming a late scare in their quest to sign the Spaniard.

With a deal with Sporting CP looking to be done and dusted and a medical tentatively scheduled in for Monday, the Portuguese club had a change of heart over the details of the transfer for Porro. The last thing Tottenham needed so late on in the transfer window in their quest to solve their right wing-back woes, the Lilywhites and their counterparts managed to come to an agreement on Monday evening.

Now set to undergo his medical on Tuesday, Porro will finally put pen-to-paper on a deal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The ex-Man City man, who had already said his goodbyes to the Sporting fans after the Taca de Portugal final defeat against Porto on Saturday night, was absent from Sporting training on Monday following the news that his transfer was now in doubt.
