Tottenham Hotspur are expected to sign Pedro Porro for £39.5 million (€45 million) after they initially postponed his medical.

Sporting refused to sign off a final agreement for the right wingback, claiming that they wanted Tottenham to cover £2.6 million of fees which they said they had to pay to administer the deal. While Tottenham were annoyed at the tactic as they had met the asking price, they have been separately helped by Hector Bellerin, a former Arsenal defender at Barcelona, appearing willing to move to the Portuguese club, who will need a replacement for Porro to sanction a sale.

Porro has agreed a Tottenham contract until 2028, doubling his wage to around £85,000 a week. He played in Sporting’s 2-0 Portuguese League Cup final defeat to Porto on Saturday and appeared to wave goodbye to the club’s fans after the final whistle. Manchester City are entitled to 30 per cent of the profit on the deal due a clause when they sold him, which has been calculated as £9.7 million (€11 million).

Tottenham have given up 15 per cent of a possible sell-on fee for Marcus Edwards to leave them with 35 per cent and Sporting the rest. Tottenam inserted the sell-on fee when Edwards joined Vitória in 2019 and the clause was carried through when the winger joined Sporting a year ago.

Tottenham are considering a move for a centre back on the final day of the window and should complete the signing of Jude Soonsup-Bell from Chelsea. The striker, 19, has made three appearances for Chelsa and been capped by England at youth level.

Japhet Tanganga, the Spurs defender who started against Preston North End in the FA Cup on Saturday, has interest from Inter Milan for a loan. Bryan Gil has gone back to Sevilla on loan while Djed Spence is set to join Rennes on loan.

And where have you seen him? Down the local shops? In the pub? At the casino? Where has he performed best? ?

Football matches mate. Don’t be a douche.

 

[HildoSpur]

If that’s true then that’s us done then.

6/10 window for me as we still desperately need a CB.

No it isn't, we can be deep into discussions without making a formal offer. Once a fee is decided upon then we can offer. Let's see what happens

 

[AtoubaToothpaste]

I watched LWOS earlier with Sami Mokbel; he seemed pretty clear that his source was very negative about Hincapie coming in this window. I've never seen the bloke play so who knows if he's any good or not? Either way, it's clear we need to compeltely revamp our CB options, so if things change and we can bring him for say Sanchez going out, then I'll be interested to see how that turns out.

 

[SpursSince1980]

I know there is a lot of shouts for a top level CB, which is completely correct, but you have to take into account, a strong offense helps the defense. That Is where the likes of Porro, a fit Deki, a fit Richarlison, all help us move the ball forward. So much of the pressure that leads to goals, often has to do with an inability by our attackers (including wing backs) cant hold on to the ball. Deki is highly underrated in this area. Especially when Son and Kane start as both have games where they easily lose second balls or get marked out of the game when the opponent floods our midfield.

In short: the less pressure our defense is under, the less likely they are to make mistakes.

Would be really happy with this.

Max Kilman is a very solid defender and a great distributor. I think he would suit us really well. Wolves could be interested in any number of our rejects.

 

[Revo19]

Can't see a CB coming in. Or anyone else for that matter. Levy likes to time a deadline day deal but in recent years it's been just the one. Porro most likely will be confirmed and perhaps another outgoing loan after Gil and Spence - likely Tanganga who won't need to be replaced.

 

[Archibald-CPH]

Deadline in Germany is at 1800

 

[mr ashley]

Is Kilman good on the ball/good passer, aggressive etc? Really know nothing about him.

Not sure how much of an aggressive defender is when compared to hincapie and Romero
However, he started off playing futsal (represented England) so he can clearly dribble and pass the ball well and is comfortable on either foot, as well as being an absolute unit.
Factor in his Hg status and you can see why we are interested.
only concern would be the poor form of wolves this season

 

[samsonlevi]

Deadline in Germany is at 1800

Does this mean they have to buy a replacement before 18:00 but can still sell up to our deadline?

 

[Archibald-CPH]

I think so

 

[HildoSpur]

Kilman is solid rather than spectacular so he would be a decent but not very exciting signing and I'm not sure he would strengthen us that much however him being homegrown obviously is a bonus. I'd rather get Hincapie who has the potential to be much better than Kilman.

 

[chas vs dave]

Does this mean they have to buy a replacement before 18:00 but can still sell up to our deadline?

I believe they can still sell, but a player has to be on a specific transfer list.

 

[tierhause]

In past years I seem to remember German teams having to publish a list of players who could potentially be transferred on deadline day. If a player isn't listed - No move.

[Timberwolf]

Part of me hopes we don't sign Kilman simply so I'm not forced to listen to every commentator say "he used to be a professional futsal player, you know?" each ****ing game.

"He actually came straight to the Premier League from non-league Maidenhead".

Fuck off.

Played for my home town Marlow FC for a season too!

On loan from Maidenhead.

 

[WiganSpur]

At this juncture, I think i'd rather we brought in a right footer like Pavard

 

[wpd659]

Been told this is being worked on but no further update. Would not be trying to do a swap deal as too much could go wrong on last day. Loan and obligation to buy would be our preferred option.

Thanks for update, hopefully we get a CB but not feeling confident.
