Why Pedro Porro is perfect for risky Tottenham tactic after World Cup final display
Pedro Porro has etched his name in history as the Tottenham Hotspur defender was crowned World champion with Spain.
The Spurs right-back started against Argentina in the World Cup final on 19 July, helping Luis de la Fuente's team lift the prestigious trophy.
Roberto De Zerbi now has an in-form player who can make a difference coming back to the North London outfit ahead of next season.
Porro has been brilliant with Spain throughout the World Cup after a tough season with Tottenham.
La Roja conceded just one goal on their way to the final and subsequently locked down Lionel Messi's Argentina.
The 26-year-old right-back has shown De Zerbi just why he could be the perfect cog in his system at Spurs.
Pedro Porro's game in numbers as Spain beat Argentina
Spain dominated possession against Argentina in the final as Ferran Torres sealed their 1-0 victory after a goal in extra time.
Porro was part of the defence that controlled the ball for La Roja, with the right-back completing 90 passes in the game.
According to Sofascore, the Spurs star made seven defensive contributions, won two of his tackles, four of his 10 ground duels and one aerial duel.
Porro was also an attacking threat for La Roja, completing two key passes and recording two accurate crosses.
What will stand out for De Zerbi is the defender's 100 per cent passing accuracy in Spain's half.
The Italian manager is known for deploying the risky tactic of goading opposition attackers into pressing the ball by having his defenders hold on to it.
Porro has the composure necessary to ensure the former Brighton and Hove Albion boss' ideas succeed in North London.
Who will form Roberto De Zerbi's defence at Tottenham?
Tottenham News followed Porro's impressive displays for Spain throughout the World Cup.
The right-back is surely guaranteed a spot in Spurs' starting lineup ahead of next season.
Jan Paul van Hecke also completed a big-money move to the North London outfit this summer and it looks like he will partner Micky van de Ven at centre-back.
Djed Spence, Andy Robertson, Destiny Udogie and Souza are at De Zerbi's disposal for the left-back spot, but after the England international's displays at the World Cup, he should be the first choice in the position.
