Tottenham have seen their move for Sporting Lisbon full-back Pedro Porro collapse.
Spurs are working against the clock to strengthen Antonio Conte’s squad before the Tuesday deadline, having signed just one player so far in the January transfer window. Forward Arnaut Danjuma joined on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy from Villarreal, on Thursday – but defensive additions have not been finalised.
Tottenham have been in talks with Sporting over right-back Porro for some time and had been expected to tie up the deal before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline. He has long been the club's No.1 target this window. But, as first reported by The Athletic, the deal for Porro has dramatically gone south and, as it stands, he will no longer be arriving in north London.
