Report: Real Madrid initiates talks with Tottenham amid interest to sign £126k spurs star in January

Real Madrid, having shown interest in Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, is now looking at another Tottenham defender, according to reports.
In addition to the highly sought-after Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid has set its sights on another right-back in the Premier League. This player, who was on their radar over a year ago, is regaining prominence on the club’s agenda.

Real Madrid is known for its forward-thinking approach, continuously monitoring potential future signings. With several key players ageing, it’s clear that the club must begin planning for necessary replacements in specific positions.
Currently, it proves challenging to find top-quality full-backs, especially with Dani Carvajal, a cornerstone of the defence, still performing at a high level. While the emergence of Trent Alexander-Arnold as a potential target has generated excitement, it’s evident that he will have numerous admirers, complicating any pursuit.

Reports indicate that Real Madrid are now considering Pedro Porro, the Tottenham Hotspur right-back, as another option. According to CaughtOffside (h/t Fichajes), Porro has once again captured the attention of the club, signalling that the Merengues are serious about strengthening their defensive options.

The Spanish international has made a notable impact this season, scoring one goal in seven appearances, and remains a crucial player for Spurs.
Porro’s consistent performances have caught the eye of various top clubs, including the reigning European champions. His versatility and attacking prowess make him an attractive candidate for a team looking to bolster its backline.
As previously mentioned, it’s entirely expected for these sorts of reports to surface, particularly considering that Tottenham currently possess one of the finest defensive partnerships in the world.

However, with the players tied down to contracts, it seems both difficult and unwarranted to speculate on their possible departures at this juncture.

Mikey Moore the merrier after impressing on his full debut for Tottenham

Mikey Moore is ready for more opportunities and eager to repay the faith of Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou after he flourished on his full debut against Ferencvaros.

The 17-year-old was one of four teenage starters for Spurs on Thursday but the quartet of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Will Lankshear – dubbed ‘Ange’s Angels’ – helped the visitors grind out a 2-1 victory at Groupama Arena.

Moore has been a source of excitement for Tottenham supporters for more than 12 months after he starred in two of the youth teams’ cup triumphs in 2023 and also made his first appearance for the Under-21s at the age of 15.

After the London-born attacker become the youngest player to feature for Spurs in the Premier League with a late cameo against Manchester City in May, Moore has continued to develop at a rapid rate and enjoyed a strong pre-season which was followed by a first start in Budapest.

It did not take long for Moore to make his mark with a driving run able to help set up Pape Sarr’s 23rd-minute opener and he was involved in Brennan Johnson’s clincher four minutes from time when he threaded a delightful pass through to Dominic Solanke.

Quizzed on when he found out he would start, Moore admitted: “To be fair, I only knew about 4 o’clock…but I was ready.

“It is what you work for. Obviously there are a bit of nerves coming into it, but once you get on the pitch you are all right.

“It’s a big step but it is one I am ready to take. It’s been all right, all the boys have helped me and it’s been perfect really so far.”
