Tottenham will have to pay Pedro Porro’s €45m (£36.7m) release clause if they want to sign him in January. Antonio Conte is keen to upgrade his options at right wing-back and has targeted Porro, who has excelled since joining Sporting from Manchester City, initially on loan in 2020 before the Portuguese club made the deal permanent for €8.5m last summer.

Initial conversations have taken place over Porro, driven by intermediaries, and it is understood that more will take place, suggesting that a deal could be a possibility, even though Sporting will demand the full value of the 23-year-old’s clause.
