      It is similar to the deal Spurs pulled off for World Cup-winning centre-back Cristian Romero from Juventus in 2021.
      The transfer for right-back Porro looked on the brink of collapsing before deadline day.
      His Portuguese club were reluctant to sanction the move until they were happy with the finances involved in the package.
      However, now that has been ironed out, Porro will undergo his medical ahead of the move.

      That is despite the wing-back already featuring for Sporting Lisbon in the competition this season – playing against his new club Spurs.
      But due to Uefa’s registration rules, he will be eligible to turn out in the San Siro for Antonio Conte on Valentine’s Day.

      When City sold Porro to Sporting for £11m last summer – although only £7m has been paid so far – they included a clause in the deal that entitled them to 30 per cent of the profit that the Portuguese club made from the full-back’s next move.
      And with the profit Sporting will make on Porro possibly rising to as much as £34m, City could get £10m of that.
      Sporting are closing in on a permanent deal for ex-Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin as a replacement for Porro.
      Porro’s arrival in North London made way for Matt Doherty to join Atletico Madrid while summer signing Djed Spence could go out on loan, if a deal can be done in time.
      The 22-year-old has been in talks with Ligue 1 side Rennes where he could team up with fellow Spurs bench-warmer Joe Rodon. More

      But boss Antonio Conte made clear it was a deal struck by the club and not one he was demanding.
      And since then England U21 international Spence has been restricted to just six appearances off the bench for Spurs.
      A host of clubs, including Leicester, Brentford and Crystal Palace are all keen on a loan deal this month.
      But we exclusively revealed how his exit was being held up due to Spurs’ refusal to include an option to buy.

      Spurs do not want to risk losing Spence for good at the end of the season, especially with Conte’s future in doubt.
      And chief Daniel Levy is not currently entertaining permanent deals or any loan offers with an option or obligation to buy.
      That has caused negotiations to drag, but now there seems to have been a breakthrough regarding the ex-Fulham trainee.

      He joined the Naples outfit in the summer of 2022 after the club agreed a £15.8million fee with Turkish club Fenerbache.
      But things could have been very different for the 26-year-old, as Roma boss Mourinho revealed he wanted to sign him when he was at Spurs.
      However Mourinho claims that Fenerbahce’s £8.7million price tag was too much for the club.
      He said: “I wanted to sign Kim Min-jae when I was at Tottenham.

      “I had some FaceTime calls with him — our bid was €5m, Fenerbahce wanted €10m for Kim and for Tottenham that wasn’t possible at that point”.
      “Now look at Kim and his level, he’s a top player”.
      The comments have peaked the interest of fans who have all been left saying the same thing.
      Mourinho seems to have got his dates muddled as he had been sacked and appointed as manager of Roma before Min-jea joined Fenerbache.

      When Mourinho was dismissed from Spurs, the defender was still at CSL side Beijing Guoan.
      One fan tweeted: “Didn’t Mourinho leave Tottenham before the player even joined Fenerbahce? Must have the wrong club.”
      A second wrote: “Funny that Mourinho was sacked by Spurs in April 21 & Min Jae didn’t join Fenerbahce until August 21.”
      A third commented: “Kim moved to Fenerbahce 4 months after Mourinho was fired by Spurs.”
      A fourth said: “But wasn’t Kim at Beijing?”
      A fifth added: “Didn’t Fenerbahce sign Kim Min-jae after Jose got sacked at Spurs?”
      Mourinho may have muddled up Fenerbahce with his former side Beijing Guoan, as the club had been linked with a move for the defender before he had been sacked. More
