Wenham backs big-name Tottenham star to sign new contract despite transfer speculation

John Wenham has backed Pedro Porro to sign a brand-new contract with Tottenham.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose believes Real Madrid will opt to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold as their new right-back.

Porro recently commented on speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid (via Fabrizio Romano, 9 October). However, Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold has also been linked with the La Liga giants (via The Guardian, 18 October).

And Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – thinks Madrid will opt to sign the latter.

“I don’t see Porro signing for Real Madrid,” Wenham said.

“They have an amazing opportunity to sign Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer. I could see Alexander-Arnold signing a pre-contract with Madrid in January.

“That gives him a chance to solidify himself as one of the greatest English players ever, while it would be a huge blow for Liverpool to lose him for free.

“Therefore, do I see anybody else offering £80million-plus for Porro? No, I don’t. As a result, I see Porro renewing his Tottenham contract and remaining with the club.”

Pedro Porro to remain with Tottenham despite Real Madrid speculation?

Porro is only continuing to improve, something he demonstrated while featuring for Spain this month. As a result, it is no surprise that clubs, particularly the biggest Spanish clubs, will be interested in the defender.

However, it is unlikely that Real Madrid would sign both Alexander-Arnold and Porro. The Liverpool man could be a lot cheaper should he choose not to renew his contract at Anfield, which expires at the end of the season.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see that transfer go through. Should that happen, it would be a big boost for Ange Postecoglou.

Few other clubs would be able to afford the big-money signing of Porro. Therefore, if a move to Real Madrid doesn’t materialise, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the 25-year-old remain at Tottenham.

In other Tottenham news, the club would only accept a “ridiculous” offer for one exit-linked player in January.
