There\u2019s so much football happening at the World Cup that you\u2019d be forgiven if you forgot about Tottenham Hotspur for a while. I\u2019m here to remind you that good things are still happening outside of North America \u2014 and case in point, Fabrizio Romano is now stating that Pedro Porro has officially signed his new contract extension with Spurs, one that will keep him in North London until at least 2031.<\/p>\n
We already talked about how Porro was likely to end up one of the club\u2019s top wage earners, and that appears to have been borne out. More importantly, this contract locks him down as a Spurs player until 2031, the year he turns 31, with an option to extend for an additional year. This is a deal that speaks volumes, both about Porro\u2019s importance to this side, his quality, and Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s opinions of his play. Say what you want about Pedro \u2014 the offensively-minded wing-back we brought in specifically to play for Antonio Conte has vastly improved his defense over the past few years and has become a coveted all-around player. He\u2019s even playing for World Cup title favorites Spain!<\/p>\n
This is a contract that instead establishes Pedro Porro as a leader on De Zerbi\u2019s new-look Tottenham team, and a key player in how he wants to structure his tactics. It\u2019s a good signing. I was skeptical about him at first too, but he\u2019s changed my opinion over the years, for sure. Congratulations, Pedro \u2014 I expect the official announcement will be coming in due course, probably on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s so much football happening at the World Cup that you\u2019d be forgiven if you forgot about Tottenham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":638421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,52146,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-638420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-transfer-news-rumors","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
