Porro Was outstanding against Spurs, now they want to sign him

[mawspurs]

With 89 minutes on the clock during Sporting Lisbon’s Champions League group-stage clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the Portuguese capital, and with the scores still level at 0-0, Pedro Porro decided to take proceedings by the scruff of the neck.

Picking up possession wide on the right, Porro outmuscled Ivan Perisic, breezed past Ben Davies and curled a magnificent effort towards the top corner with (not that you’d have guessed it) his weaker left foot. Hugo Lloris needed every single centre metre of his 6ft 2ins frame to claw the ball away.

Hugo’s centre metre is deffo his best bit!

Seems very unlikely Spence will get much of a chance and Porro does look like a proper wingback. How long would it take him to learn the Conte 'system' though?

That's why I think it's so important to sign a RWB in January, rather than waiting until the summer. He's only 23, so could be a good long-term signing even if he takes a while to adapt - especially if Conte & Paratici consider him to be more suitable for our system than Emerson and further along in his development than Spence, who are both a similar age to Porro.
