Man City 'interested' in signing Tottenham star and more transfer rumours

Manchester City are 'interested' in re-signing Tottenham Hotspur right-back Pedro Porro ahead of the summer transfer window.

That is according to a report by Tottenham News, which claims City, who beat Huddersfield Town 5-0 in the FA Cup third round on Sunday afternoon, want to 'replace' Kyle Walker with the Spaniard. Porro was on City's books between 2019 and 2022 but failed to make a single appearance.

He was sent out on loan on a couple of occasions before joining Sporting Lisbon, who had borrowed him for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, on a permanent basis. He joined them in May 2022 for just £7.2million.

He has been a key figure in head coach Ange Postecoglou's plans so far this season, racking up 20 appearances in all competitions. He netted his first goal of the campaign in spectacular fashion on Friday night, scoring the winner in Spurs' 1-0 win over Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup. Adventurous when allowed to drive forward from right-back, Porro, 24, has also chipped in with six assists this term.

Meanwhile, City will 'wait until the summer' before trying to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich. That is according to a report by the Daily Star which claims the Blues are taking a 'calculated gamble' by delaying their alleged move for the German until the summer.
