Porro last played during the 2-2 draw at Burnley, where the Spain international was deployed as a right-wing back in Frank's 3-5-2 system at Turf Moor. He then didn't feature against Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, as Spurs won 2-0, thanks to goals from Randal Kolo-Muani and Dominic Solanke. As confirmed by a club statement earlier this week, Porro is set to be out of action for at least four weeks.
Tottenham Hotspur are said to have begun talks for Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka. Spurs have already signed one midfielder this window, bringing in former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid man Conor Gallagher on a long-term contract. But after progressing in the Champions League earlier this week, manager Thomas Frank wants to add further bodies to his squad and is now eyeing a move for the 30-year-old Germany international.
Under-pressure Tottenham boss Thomas Frank led his team to the last 16 of the Champions League following a huge 2-0 victory away to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke both struck in the second half to lead Spurs to a fourth-placed finish in the league phase, behind Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal. Frank's side thought they had taken an early lead when Xavi Simons finished past Kaua Santos,
Tottenham have reportedly entered the race for Bayern Munich powerhouse Leon Goretzka, as the North London club looks to capitalise on the German's uncertain future. With the January transfer window entering its final days, Italian journalist Matteo Moretto has revealed that Spurs have formally inquired about the 30-year-old's availability, joining Atletico Madrid and AC Milan in a high-stakes pursuit.

The 22-year-old has done quite well since joining the Spanish club at the start of the season for a fee of just 5 million from Real Madrid. He has four goals and four assists across all competitions, and his performance has attracted Tottenham's attention. Victor Munoz is attracting Premier League interest Multiple clubs have been monitoring his progress in recent weeks, but Tottenham are the frontrunners in the race to sign him.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in improving the attacking unit before the January window closes, and they are keen on Maghnes Akliouche. According to Teamtalk, they have completed extensive groundwork on the Monaco attacker, and they have scouted him for a long time. The player is likely to cost around 50 million, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
Tottenham need more depth in the attacking unit, and Vlahovic could compete with Dominic Solanke for the starting spot. The England international has not been able to score goals consistently, and Tottenham need an upgrade. The Serbian has shown his quality in Italy, and it remains to be seen whether he can make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid is willing to sanction his departure. The 25-year-old has done well for the La Liga outfit since joining them, but a move to the Premier League could be exciting for the French international. He has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football, and he could be a key player for Liverpool and Tottenham.
Tottenham have reportedly intensified their interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the North London club exploring the possibility of a late-window move as part of their broader push to strengthen the squad. Spurs' interest comes alongside their ongoing pursuit of Andy Robertson, signalling a bold effort to lure two established Liverpool stars to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Liverpool insider DaveOCKOP claims Tottenham are preparing an initial 30 million bid for Jones before the transfer deadline.
Spurs sources remain adamant that work is continuing on the recruitment of a high-profile attacker this window. More on who they're primed to bid for later in this piece, but attention is also being diverted by the uncertain futures of Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani. Tel has grown increasingly frustrated under Thomas Frank and has actively explored a move away, with Paris FC attempting to open discussions.
Tottenham have admired the 24-year-old for several seasons, recognising his technical quality, versatility, and creativity in midfield. However, Liverpool and manager Arne Slot still view Jones as a key part of their long-term project, making any potential deal extremely difficult. Jones, a boyhood Liverpool supporter, has spoken openly about his desire to follow in the footsteps of his idol Steven Gerrard by spending the entirety of his career at Anfield.
On Monday, Italian transfer expert Rudy Galetti issued a report indicating that Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovač was a target for both Manchester United and Chelsea FC. However, those two clubs are not alone. Galetti followed up his initial report adding another interesting nugget - Tottenham Hotspur is also in the mix. Spurs coach Thomas Frank is sputtering and considered to be on shaky ground at the club, which has allowed Tottenham to rekindle an old flame:
