Pedro Porro has underlined his commitment to Tottenham Hotspur, insisting he has no intention of leaving and is “very happy and very settled” in north London.
The 26-year-old right-back, now in his third full season at the club, has become one of Spurs’ most reliable performers — starting every match bar one this term and even captaining the side in the Carabao Cup against Doncaster.
Speaking to Infobae while on international duty with Spain, Porro praised new head coach Thomas Frank, who took charge in the summer.
“The coach is doing a magnificent job,” he said. “The truth is, I’m very happy and very settled at Tottenham. The start of the season has been very good.”
Porro’s remarks come amid speculation linking several Spurs players with moves away, but the defender made clear his focus remains entirely on the club as they chase a return to the Champions League under Frank.
Porro reflects on Spurs’ strong start — and Super Cup heartbreak
Tottenham’s early campaign has been defined by attacking flair and energy, with Porro central to their right-side combinations alongside Mohamed Kudus.
The Spaniard admitted the only disappointment so far was the Super Cup final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, where Spurs lost on penalties after leading 2-0.
“It’s a shame we lost the Super Cup final on penalties against Paris Saint-Germain. After going 2-0 up, you have to win that title, but they’re one of the best clubs in the world. If you’re not focused for the full 90 minutes, that’s what happens.” — Pedro Porro, *Infobae*
Porro’s blend of aggression and creativity has made him one of the Premier League’s top full-backs. Last season he registered nine assists, and his set-piece delivery remains a key weapon for Spurs.
Balancing defence and attack under Frank
Porro has made no secret of wanting to improve the defensive side of his game to complement his attacking instincts.
“Nowadays, you have to be important in both roles,” he explained. “Several years ago, I was very focused defensively — now I’m trying to maintain that consistency, while keeping the confidence I have going forward.”

Those numbers show why Frank has kept him as an automatic starter. His attacking output remains high, but his improved defensive positioning has also tightened Spurs’ right flank.
Analyst verdict – key pillar of Frank’s rebuild
In my view, Porro epitomises the stability Frank wants from his senior players. His leadership, fitness and technical sharpness make him one of Spurs’ most valuable assets.
FootballPlace analyst Liam Rowe adds:
“Porro has matured enormously since his early days at Spurs. Frank’s system asks full-backs to overlap and recycle possession intelligently — and Porro executes that perfectly. Keeping him content is crucial to Tottenham’s long-term balance.”
