Tottenham have completed the signing of Pedro Porro from Sporting CP. The right wing-back joins Spurs as their second signing in January after Arnaut Danjuma joined the club on loan from Villareal.
Porro has signed a five-and-a-half year contract in north London and joins on an initial loan deal with Tottenham having an obligation to buy him as part of the agreement in a deal worth 45m euros (£39.5m). He will wear the number 23 shirt. As football.london reported ahead of the January transfer window, Spurs were targeting a new attacker and right wing-back and the arrival of Porro completes their winter window priorities.
The Spanish international, specifically, was Antonio Conte's priority as a new right wing-back and after weeks of negotiations, where Spurs were initially reluctant to pay the full release clause, a deal has been agreed.

Porro now follows in the footsteps of Danjuma who joined the club on Wednesday, January 25. Everton had all but confirmed they had signed the former Bournemouth winger on a six-month loan deal, but Spurs pulled off a late hijack with the 25-year-old saying his decision to join Spurs was a "no-brainer". Spurs hold the option to make Danjuma's move permanent in the summer with a €30m (£26.4m) buy option.
Porro faced Spurs in the Champions League this season and will now have the opportunity to play for his new club on Europe's greatest stage with their last-16 first leg match against AC Milan set to take place at San Siro on February 14.
