After weeks of negotiations and talks, Antonio Conte finally got his man. The arrival of Pedro Porro is arguably Tottenham's most important transfer in a number of years, and is definitely under the Italian.
Obviously Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur have proven to be brilliantly shrewd acquisitions but in no other position was a truly first-class option needed more than at right wing-back. Spurs have seemingly solved any issues on the opposite side with the signing of Ivan Perisic and planned arrival of Destiny Udogie ahead of the 2023/24 season but there still remained a gaping hole on the right.
Djed Spence looked as though he'd be the man to solve that after a stellar year at Nottingham Forest, helping them to promotion into the Premier League. However, the 22-year-old has played just 43 minutes so far this season and will now spend the remainder of the season on loan at Rennes. Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal have each been sharing the role, but in the 14 months Conte has been at the club, neither have been able to claim the position as their own.
