Chelsea challenge Spurs for Sporting CP fullback Pedro Porro

Tottenham face fresh competition for Sporting CP fullback Pedro Porro.

Chelsea could enter the race for highly-rated Sporting man Porro, according to CBS Sports Golazo journalist Ben Jacobs, speaking on the Last Word on Spurs podcast.

The 21-year-old has caught the eye in Portugal, registering two goals and 12 assists this season.

He's particularly impressed in the Champions League and his overall record for Sporting is 30 goal contributions is 94 appearances since arriving from Manchester City in 2020.

But the Blues face competition from London rivals Tottenham, who are also in desperate need of a right-sided player.

He might be Antonio Conte's top right wing-back target, but Sporting are only willing to sell him if someone meets his release clause.
