Roberto De Zerbi has said Pedro Porro has the ‘mentality’ to help Tottenham Hotspur reach the highest level.
Porro has ended speculation around his future in North London by signing a new contract at Spurs. The Spain right-back had been linked with clubs in England and Europe, but has recommitted to the club on improved terms.
Spurs announced Porro’s new deal on Sunday, with De Zerbi delighted to get the agreement finalised.
He praised Porro’s desire to improve and backed the full-back to continue being a ‘very important player’ for Spurs in the seasons to come.
“Pedro is a very important player for us, who has consistently shown his ability to influence matches in both defensive and attacking situations,” he told the club’s official website.
“As well as his technical quality, I also love his mentality. Every day he wants to work, to learn and to improve, and these are the characteristics that help players reach the highest level.
“He understands football in a very intelligent way, and brings energy, intensity and personality to the team.
“This new contract is good news for everyone at the Club. We believe in Pedro, and I am excited to continue working with him and helping him achieve even more in the coming years.”
