🧵So this morning’s reports confirm that Sporting’s stubbornness over Pedro Porro’s €45m (release clause is a stumbling block for #Spurs.

Whilst I have optimism that a deal will still be reached, it would be smart to profile alternative RWB options who would fit Conte’s system:

First though, what makes a Conte wing-back:

Physicality + stamina. The ability to dominate a flank for 90 minutes.

Technical capability. Good combination play with the 10 + consistent, accurate deliveries from wide.

Goal scoring instincts, timing + finishing at the back post.

Wilfred Singo - 22 - Ivorian - Torino - contract expires 2024

Ridle Baku - 24 - German - Wolfsburg - contract expires 2025

Alexander Bah - 25 - Danish - Benfica - contract expires 2027

Vanderson - 21 - Brazilian - AS Monaco - contract expires 2027

And here for context are Pedro Porro’s numbers for shooting, passing, defence and possession.

Thank you for taking the time to read my thread. Likes and retweets are hugely appreciated.
