Premier League star labels Barcelona interest ‘a compliment’

Premier League star labels Barcelona interest ‘a compliment’Tottenham Hotspur star Pedro Porro has this week admitted that he is flattered by the alleged interest of La Liga giants Barcelona in his signature.The name of defender Porro has of course emerged as a prominent one in the media headlines surrounding Hansi Flick’s Barcelona for several weeks now.Amid an ongoing search for reinforcements at right-back at the Camp Nou, the 27-year-old has been tipped as a leading target on the part of Deco and his transfer team.Porro struck up a fine partnership with Barcelona standout Lamine Yamal at the World Cup, with Joan Laporta and co. seemingly keen to see the pair reunited at club level.Speaking during an appearance in front of the media this week, the subject of his ongoing Barcelona links was therefore put to Porro himself.And the Tottenham standout went on to admit:“It’s always a compliment when one of the best clubs in the world is interested in you. I’m very happy at my club and have a contract to respect. Rumours are part of football, but right now I’m focused on the national team. We’ll see what happens afterwards.”Conor Laird – GSFN
