Pedro Porro is close to agreeing a long-term contract with Tottenham Hotspur.

The Spanish full-back is approaching the final two years of his current deal, which is due to run until 2028, but is nearing an agreement that will run until 2030.

The new contract, if signed, will make the full back among the highest paid players at Spurs.

Porro, 26, joined Tottenham from Sporting CP in 2023, initially on loan and has made over 150 appearances for the club in the years since — under Ange Postecoglou, Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor and most recently Roberto De Zerbi.

The defender was part of the team that won the Europa League in 2025, the club’s first European trophy since 1984, and started in the final against Manchester United.

Porro is currently a member of the Luis de la Fuente’s Spain World Cup squad that will play Cape Verde in their first game of the tournament on June 15, and featured in their last three warm-up friendlies.

How important is Porro to Spurs?

Analysis by Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Jay Harris

There is one simple statistic which underlines Pedro Porro’s importance to Spurs — he created more chances (53) than any of his team-mates in the Premier League last season. Impressive figures for a right-back especially as they were significantly higher than Xavi Simons (34) and Mathys Tel (30) who were next on the list.

Porro struggled at times last season, like everyone in the squad, but is crucial to building Spurs’ attacks. It is not a coincidence his form dropped off after Mohammed Kudus suffered a hamstring injury in January. At the start of Thomas Frank’s brief reign, Kudus and Porro often felt like the only players capable of producing a moment of creativity which could lead to a goal. It is a partnership Roberto De Zerbi will help continue to blossom.

Hopefully, he will improve defensively under De Zerbi too. The Spain international produced a series of impressive performances following De Zerbi’s appointment in March.

The 26-year-old’s relationship with the fanbase was strained at times last season but the way he celebrated a last-ditch tackle on the final day against Everton and then cried at full-time reminded people that he genuinely cares about the club.

Spurs have tied down several players to new contracts over the last 12 months including Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies and captain Cristian Romero. However, Romero, who signed a deal last August which runs until 2029, could leave this summer. Along with new arrivals Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and potentially Jan Paul van Hecke, these renewals suggest Spurs are intent on building a competitive squad for next season. It is also a sign that after years of keeping a tight watch on their wage bill, Spurs are now prepared to match the salaries their rivals pay.
