World Cup standouts Pedro Porro and Djed Spence spark transfer interest for Tottenham
Summary
Spain's right‑back Pedro Porro finished the 2026 FIFA World Cup as FotMob’s highest‑rated defender with an 8.04 rating, while England’s full‑back Djed Spence impressed during England’s semi‑final run. Their performances have lifted their market values and attracted suitors. Serie A champions Inter Milan are preparing talks with Tottenham and are reportedly ready to spend up to €35 million for Spence as a long‑term replacement for Denzel Dumfries. Liverpool is also linked to Spence, adding competition for the English club. Tottenham must decide whether to sell amid a squad already bolstered by Andy Robertson on the left and Porro’s elevated status on the right.
