Multiple sources today have confirmed that the race to sign Pedro Porro is heating up, with Barcelona reportedly submitting an official bid for the defender. The offer is being considered by Tottenham, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to tempt them into letting an important player leave. While Manchester City have shown interest, Barcelona currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. Barcelona's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.91 goals per game (31 in 34). Pedro Porro would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Tottenham are said to be exploring Youssouf Fofana, Myles Lewis-Skelly and James Tavernier with Barcelona likewise connected to Anthony Gordon, Xavi Simons and Mika Godts.
