Spurs May Have Found Reason to Sell £80m Star After Recent Performance

Tottenham Hotspur’s roller-coaster season took another turn on Saturday as they bounced back from a disappointing Europa League draw with a commanding 5-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League. The match highlighted the team’s potential when firing on all cylinders.

One standout performer was Djed Spence, who made his first start of the season at right-back. The 24-year-old impressed both defensively and offensively, providing an assist and contributing to multiple goals. His strong showing may give Spurs reason to consider selling Pedro Porro, who has been linked with big-money moves away from the club.

Spence, who joined Tottenham in 2022 for £20m, has spent time on loan but seems to be finding his footing under manager Ange Postecoglou. His performance against Southampton earned high praise from observers, with one writer calling it “spectacular.”

Meanwhile, Porro has been a consistent attacking threat since joining Spurs, with 9 goals and 13 assists in 74 appearances. However, his defensive lapses have caused issues, including in the recent Europa League match where he was at fault for Rangers’ goal.

With Spence’s emergence and Porro reportedly valued at £80m by the club, Tottenham may have an opportunity to cash in on the Spanish defender while strengthening their squad in other areas. The situation bears watching as the January transfer window approaches and top clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City show interest in Porro.

Ultimately, if Spence can maintain his form and provide similar attacking output to Porro while offering more defensive stability, it could make sense for Spurs to consider a lucrative sale. The coming weeks will likely reveal more about Postecoglou’s plans for his right-back options and whether Tottenham will entertain offers for their £80m-rated star.
