Pedro Porro\u2019s influence in Tottenham\u2019s attacking play has dipped this season, but a closer look at the numbers suggests the problem may not lie with the Spaniard himself.<\/p>\n
During his first two seasons in north London, Porro was delivering eye-catching output in the final third, posting figures comparable to Trent Alexander-Arnold. That form largely carried into last season too, as the right-back ended the 2024\u201325 campaign with four goals and nine assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n
This term, however, his returns have dropped dramatically. The Spain international is yet to find the net and has managed just a single assist from 21 Premier League appearances under Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n
Porro remains a key creator for Spurs<\/p>\n
At first glance, his lack of goals and assists might suggest a decline in form or that Frank\u2019s system isn\u2019t maximising his strengths. But fresh data from WhoScored tells a different story.<\/p>\n
According to the statistics platform, Porro has created 24 chances in the Premier League this season \u2014 more than any other full-back in the division.<\/p>\n
Are Tottenham\u2019s attackers failing Porro?<\/p>\n
The fact that only one of those 24 chances has been converted highlights a broader issue for Spurs. While Porro previously benefited from supplying elite finishers such as Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, his low assist tally this season appears to be more a reflection of poor finishing in front of goal.<\/p>\n
Tottenham supporters will be hoping that improves with the return of Dominic Solanke, widely regarded as the club\u2019s most reliable finisher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
