‘When I came here,’ says Pedro Porro of his observations of Tottenham fans while playing against them.

Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon last night, capping off a weeks-long transfer saga.

Spurs went into last month’s transfer window with one major goal in mind: to sign a new right-wing-back. Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty simply weren’t cutting it for Antonio Conte, and a replacement was a must.

Porro was identified as the primary target, and he moved late last night.

Pedro Porro raves about the atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Although Pedro Porro only completed his move to Tottenham last night, Spurs’ stadium isn’t new to the talented Spanish full-back.

Just over three months ago, the 23-year-old flew over to North London with his Sporting Lisbon teammates to take on Conte’s side in the Champions League.

Sporting drew that game 1-1, but Porro says he noticed something about the fans in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that really impressed him.

When asked what he’s looking forward to the most at Spurs, the Spaniard told Tottenham’s official website: “Above all, it’s the atmosphere in the stadium and the supporters.

“The red-hot atmosphere that I felt when I came here in the Champions League, I was really impressed by it.

“I feel great about the move. I really wanted to come here. It’s a unique opportunity for me and I hope everything goes well.”

TBR Opinion: Right-wing-back has long been a problem position for Tottenham.

Emerson and Doherty are not bad players; they simply haven’t been able to perform at the level that Conte expects from his wing-backs throughout the game.

Porro is a significant improvement over both Emerson and Doherty. He’s a fantastic player, and the fact that he’s only 23 years old means he’ll only improve in the coming years.

Tottenham will play Manchester City next, and Porro could make his debut against his former club.
