Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro is aiming to make more history at N17 following last season’s UEL success
Tottenham defender Pedro Porro is among several players thriving under Thomas Frank this season. The Spanish international has quickly established himself as a key figure in the Lilywhites’ setup, becoming one of the first names on the team sheet as Spurs look to build on last season’s Europa League success.
It would not be wrong to suggest that Porro was one of the main catalysts behind Tottenham’s long-awaited trophy triumph last season. According to Sofascore, the talented full-back featured in 51 matches across all competitions, registering four goals and nine assists — remarkable numbers for a player whose primary responsibility is to defend.
Porro’s comfort on the ball and attacking instincts often make him resemble a winger more than a full-back. His pinpoint crossing, accurate passing from deep, and ability to stretch defences have been vital in helping Spurs unlock compact, low-block opponents. However, while his attacking prowess is unquestionable, the 26-year-old still has room to grow on the defensive front if he wants to evolve into a truly complete full-back.
Pedro Porro remains ‘happy’ under Thomas Frank at Tottenham
Pedro Porro has featured in all seven matches in the Premier League under Thomas Frank this season, starting six of them. This just shows how highly Frank rates him and how much value he brings to the team down the right-flank. He has also formed a brilliant partnership with Mohammed Kudus on the right, with both players finding a way to complement each other’s game consistently.
Now, the 26-year-old has taken the time to address his situation at N17 as he aims to continue his good form for the North London club. Speaking to Infobae (via Sport Witness) whilst on international duty, Porro said,
“The truth is, I’m very happy and very settled at Tottenham. The start of the season has been very good.”
Hearing the Spaniard say that he is content at Tottenham might be music to the ears of the fans. The talented full-back has all the attributes to become one of the best in his business in the Premier League. And to achieve that, he just needs to show consistency and work hard to prove his worth under Thomas Frank. The 26-year-old recently led the line for the Lilywhites against Doncaster Rovers, further proving that Frank considers him to be a vital player for the North London club.
The onus is now on Pedro Porro to continue his good form and help Tottenham go all the way in one of the cup competitions this season. The objectives for this season are pretty clear: finish the Premier League campaign on a strong note and go deep in the Champions League. Securing these goals would instantly make the Lilywhites a tough team to play against under Thomas Frank.
