TOTTENHAM are set for fresh talks this week with Sporting Lisbon over the signing of defender Pedro Porro.
Spurs have identified Porro, 23, as one of their top targets this window.
They feel the ex-Manchester City ace as the ideal candidate to strengthen at right wing-back.
But Sporting are reluctant to let the Spaniard go in this window.
So far they have insisted Spurs pay up the full £39.9million written into his release clause.
Tottenham will hope to soften that stance when talks resume this week.
