Tottenham Hotspur are making progress in a deal for Sporting CP right wing-back Pedro Porro but there is a frustration at the Spurs end over the speed of the negotiations, football.london understands.
Progress is being made gradually between the two clubs and there is a growing confidence that a €45million (£39.5million) deal for the 23-year-old Spaniard will go through before Tuesday's transfer deadline. However, there are some frustrations within Spurs that Sporting are dragging their heels in finalising the deal with some suggestions that it could be to ensure Porro plays in Saturday night's Taca da Liga final against Porto as they line up a replacement signing.
That comes despite there being little to suggest from the north London club's end that they would be against him playing in that showpiece game before any eventually agreed deal is ratified.
