Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Spanish full-back Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon on loan until the end of the season, with an obligation to buy for £40 million.
Porro has been with Sporting since August 2020 when he signed a two-year loan deal, which became permanent last summer, moving from Manchester City.
Spurs right-backs Djed Spence and Matt Doherty have both left the club, the former on loan to Rennes, and the latter permanently to Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish right-back will wear the number 23 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 23-year-old opened up on his move to north London.
“I feel great about the move,” Porro said. “I really wanted to come here.
“It’s unique opportunity for me and I hope everything goes well. I can bring a lot of character and personality to this team.
“Above all, my desire and will to win. I’ve also managed to watch quite a few league games this season, I’ve been following our games too, and in this case, I can say that now! So, yes, I can provide character, desire, and a great attitude.
“And, yes, it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid, to play in the Premier League. I hope that it comes true, goes well this Sunday, and that we pick up the win.
“For the moment, as I said, the main thing is to start well and to go on a winning run. I’m really up for it and can’t wait to get started.”
“I really wanted to come here.”
