Fabrizio Romano has taken to Twitter this morning to reveal that Tottenham Hotspur will hold a ‘crucial meeting’ with Sporting CP officials today in what could prove to be decisive to securing a deal for Pedro Porro.
The Italian transfer guru admitted that talks are now at an advanced stage between the two clubs with Porro already having agreed personal terms with the north Londoners a number of weeks ago.
Up for discussion at today’s set of talks will be the payment terms of the deal and also the structure of payment installments.

Hopefully, the club can get the deal wrapped up soon to allow them to focus on other transfer business in the remaining days of the January transfer window.
