The new Spurs signing’signs a five-and-a-half-year contract,’ according to Romano, and the’saga is finally over.’

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, sporting defender Pedro Porro has signed his contract to become a Tottenham Hotspur player.

The Premier League outfit have been pursuing Porro for several weeks and a deal looked like it had all been agreed upon earlier this month.

However, David Ornstein reported on deadline day eve that the deal was off after Sporting changed their demands having already accepted a € 45 million bid.

Despite this, and having Hector Bellerin lined up as Porro’s replacement, Sporting made things much more difficult for Tottenham.

Romano provided plenty of updates after saying ‘here we go’ for the transfer.

Tottenham and Sporting had talks to resolve the situation after the player said goodbye to the Portuguese club’s fans following his side’s 2-0 defeat to FC Porto on Saturday.

Porro didn’t train with Sporting on Monday in order to try and force a move to north London.

Romano gave hope to Spurs fans on Monday night by saying the transfer was finally expected to go through on deadline day.

The fee is still believed to be €45m, though the terms have been altered in order to appease Sporting.

Porro then completed his medical on Tuesday with Romano once again saying ‘here we go’.

The Italian journalist confirmed on Tuesday evening that Porro has signed a contract that will last until the summer of 2028.

Porro told reporters in Portugal on Monday, “I’m grateful to Sporting, I love the club — I didn’t train because I was only focused on the transfer to Spurs, but I will always be grateful to the club.”

All Spurs fans are waiting, for now, is the club’s announcement.

After a successful loan spell with Manchester City, Porro joined Sporting on a permanent basis last summer.

Sporting reportedly included a £40 million release clause in his contract, but it could not be triggered in the final 12 days of a transfer window. sly b*stards…

Porro did not play for City, who sold him for €8.5 million.

This season, the 23-year-old has three goals and 11 assists in 23 games across all competitions.
