Pedro Porro will join Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Sporting CP on transfer deadline day with the club having an obligation to buy the player, football.london understands. Following plenty of speculation regarding the talented right wing-back over the past couple of months, Spurs finally agreed on a deal with their Portuguese counterparts on Monday evening after a late transfer scare.
With a deal appearing to be finalised on Sunday and a medical tentatively scheduled in for the following day, the Portuguese side had a change of heart over the details of the transfer for Porro. That left Tottenham with plenty of work to do on the eve of transfer deadline day to try and get a move over the line.
Thankfully the clubs did manage to strike an agreement late in the day, which will now see Tottenham strengthen a key area in Antonio Conte's team. Having departed Lisbon on Monday evening, the player will now undergo his medical in north London on Tuesday morning ahead of putting pen-to-paper on a long-term deal.
