      Porro, 23, is their main target and they are growing increasingly confident of completing a £40million deal.
      An offer of £32.5m has already been rejected this month, with Portuguese side Sporting remaining stubborn over the player’s £40m release clause.
      But SunSport understands that following talks between both clubs over the past two days, an agreement is close to being reached to meet that figure this window.
      Now that transfer looks closer to being completed after The Athletic claimed that Sporting have “approached Brighton about signing Lamptey” on loan.

      The former Chelsea ace, 22, moved to the Seagulls in January 2020 and is under contract until 2025.
      Ex-England youth international Lamptey, who has now switched allegiance and played for Ghana at the World Cup, has only made a combined 16 appearances in the Premier League.
      And he has only started one top-flight match this term.
      Meanwhile Spanish international Porro, who was once on the books at Manchester City, has made almost 100 appearances in all competitions since joining Sporting on loan in 2020.

      Should the deal go through, City would benefit with a 30 per cent sell-on clause, having left Manchester permanently in May 2022 for £7.2m.
      The signing would see the north London club’s spending over the course of this season surpass £200m, having spent £170m on seven players in the summer.
      Despite winning just two of their last six Premier League outings, Spurs are still competing in the FA Cup and Champions League – as well as remaining three points off the top four. More

      Ian Wright says Man Utd signing Kane is a ‘no brainer’ as he urges club to offer £60m plus star for England captain

      And reports suggest Ten Hag will go all out to land Tottenham and England sensation Kane.
      The Three Lions skipper equalled Jimmy Greaves’ Spurs tally of 266 goals for the North London side with the winner at Fulham.
      And despite suggestions Kane may make a U-turn and sign a new contract, United have been urged by Arsenal legend Wright to push forward and pursue a deal AND include a player as a sweetener.
      Wright said on Wrighty’s House: “If Man Utd came now, [for] Harry Kane with a year left, let’s say they put £60m on the table and we’ll throw in someone, Martial, whatever… it’s a very good deal.

      “If Man Utd have got any serious thinking about what we need to do next, it’s a No9.
      “It seems like a no-brainer that Harry Kane is the person [they should sign]. He takes them somewhere else.”
      Wright believes that despite the possibility of Kane leaving Tottenham trophyless, fans will wish the 29-year-old well.
      Wright added: “Spurs fans will say ‘you know what, good luck Harry’.”

      United have brought in Wout Weghorst to temporarily fill the gap left by Ronaldo.
      However, the on-loan star has struggled to make an impact for the Red Devils.
      Wright says the difference between Arsenal and Man Utd in Sunday’s 3-2 win for Mikel Arteta’s men was the strikers.
      He said: “One of the main differences was Eddie Nketiah, a No9. 
      “That’s what Man Utd didn’t have, because they had [Wout] Weghorst up there but he wasn’t a threat if we’re going to be totally honest, he was not a threat. 
      “When you’re looking at Man Utd’s trajectory at the minute and where they’re moving, Harry Kane for three years, 
      “I think Man Utd would definitely be doing something because Man Utd are not a million miles away with what ten Hag’s doing.”

      But SunSport understands that following talks between both clubs over the past two days, an agreement is close to being reached to meet that figure this window.
      The £40m deal would include add-ons and bonuses – as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy continues to spend big in order to prove to Conte he can build him a title-challenging squad.
      Once on the books at Manchester City, Porro has made almost 100 appearances in all competitions since joining Sporting on loan in 2020.

      Should the deal go through, City would benefit with a 30 per cent sell-on clause, having left Manchester permanently in May 2022 for £7.2m.
      The Spain international is expected to be thrown straight into the starting XI to kick-start Tottenham’s season, replacing the likes of Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal.
      The signing would see the north London club’s spending over the course of this season surpass £200m, having spent £170m on seven players in the summer.
      Back on October, Conte said: “We know this situation with the club and the club knows very well we need time and patience, to try to go step by step.

      Tottenham wanted me to GET RID of Harry Kane says ex-manager Tim Sherwood as he reveals star’s best attribute

      by

      TOTTENHAM wanted to get rid of Harry Kane before he made his Premier League debut, according to former manager Tim Sherwood.The England captain, 29, moved level with Jimmy Greaves as Spurs’ all-time leading scorer on Monday night as he bagged his 266th goal for the club in their 1-0 win over Fulham.

      He also moved to 199 Premier League goals, nine behind Wayne Rooney and 61 shy of Alan Shearer’s record.
      But before his devastating prowess in front of goal became Tottenham’s most valuable asset, he was struggling out on loan at the likes of Norwich and Leicester.
      And Sherwood, who handed Kane his first Premier League start for Spurs in April 2014, has revealed the club wanted to move him on.
      But he insists he had belief in the striker’s ability and was a driving force in keeping him at White Hart Lane.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Speaking in his column for The Mail, he said: “Every manager that took Harry on loan said he wouldn’t make it. There wasn’t one who said he would.
      “If they tell you different, they’re lying. I’m not knocking that. It was their opinion at the time.
      But I never judged Harry when he was away from Tottenham. I thought it was the best for his development – to play competitive football.
      “I’d go watch him. At Millwall in 2012, there was an intense atmosphere. But that was exactly what he needed. For him to keep putting that shirt on when he hadn’t scored, only to end up being named Millwall’s Young Player of the Year, showed the character of the boy.

      “When Harry came back to Tottenham after a series of loans, I advised him not to accept any more offers and to stick around and fight for his place.
      “The manager previous to me, Andre Villas-Boas, had no intention of putting him in.
      “Franco Baldini was sporting director and he wrote off Harry, saying he wasn’t good enough for the Premier League. Tottenham wanted me to get rid of him.
      “There were clubs who wanted Harry. But I wouldn’t do that. I wasn’t listening. I was saying: ‘The boy is good enough.’
      “I was told I was ‘biased’ towards the younger players. I wasn’t. I just wanted to win and Harry was best equipped to do that for me.”
      Kane scored on his Premier League debut in a 5-1 win over Sunderland and went on to bag two more league goals before the end of the 2013/14 season.
      Since then, he has scored 24 goals or more in all competitions for eight successive campaigns.
      And Sherwood pinpointed Kane’s work rate as his best attribute.
      He added: “I hate ‘natural talent’. There’s no such thing as a ‘natural’ footballer.
      “It takes hard work, and no one typifies that more than this boy. Harry worked hard. He still works hard.”

      Kane will look to move out on his own as Spurs’ all-time top scorer when they travel to face Preston in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
      He will also see the competition as an opportunity to win a first major trophy of his career.
