Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a huge boost as Fabrizio Romano reports that Pedro Porro has agreed the terms of a new contract with the club, amid links with a potential exit.
It comes as the Lilywhites are looking to secure the long-term future of their defence, having already announced the signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson this summer.
Beyond them, there are talks to sign Jan Paul van Hecke, while exits are expected for Cristian Romero and Radu Dragusin in the coming weeks of the market.
As Tottenham continue to address how the squad is built, a new contract is set to be on the table for Porro, coming as the latest boost for Roberto De Zerbi.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are closing in on a new contract for Porro, as the Spanish star is set to extend his stay with the club until 2030.
Spurs signed the 26-year-old right-back in 2023, paying £39 million to land him from Sporting CP. Porro has made over 150 appearances for the club since, proving his quality in his defending, but also in the attacking areas with his crossing and set-piece ability.
Following a difficult campaign, and with only two years left on his contract, recent reports have linked the defender with a return to Manchester City, with a £60 million valuation set on the star.
However, the new contract extension is set to thwart any threat of an exit for Porro, with Romano claiming that he is viewed as “untouchable” by De Zerbi since his arrival at the club.
It’s a move that helps secure the backline even further for Tottenham moving forward, while they continue to make changes with the aim of strengthening the team.
With Porro’s deal sorted, attention may have to turn to other players in the squad who need a new contract.

Porro’s contract extension is a huge boost for Tottenham, as they look at the options they have within the squad and where they will build next.
Beyond him, Richarlison, Dane Scarlett and Ben Davies are into the final year of their contracts, though the trio may not be in line for a fresh deal.
Jumping ahead to 2028, there are contract expirations for James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Guglielmo Vicario, and Ashley Phillips.

Tottenham have been linked with another move for a defender, amid Luka Vuskovic exit discussions.
All of those options may be considered for new deals, but that may have to be closer to the time, especially with the former two battling against injury issues.
As it stands, Tottenham are in a good position with their contracts, and may push more of their focus towards signings in the coming weeks.
