Chelsea are reportedly among the clubs considering a move for Tottenham defender Pedro Porro, with the Blues set to face strong competition from two other Premier League clubs in January.

The Spain international has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in England, but there is one big hurdle to overcome.

Tottenham are expected to ask for a world-record fee for a full-back. Not only that, but Porro is believed to be more interested in returning to Spain.

Nevertheless, Chelsea's interest is worth watching, particularly with uncertainty surrounding Malo Gusto's future at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea make enquiry for Pedro Porro

According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have all made enquiries about Porro ahead of the January transfer window.

The three Premier League clubs have contacted the relevant parties to understand whether the 27-year-old would be available for the second half of the season.

Chelsea's interest comes amid growing uncertainty over Gusto's future. The Frenchman has fallen down the pecking order under Xabi Alonso, with Josh Acheampong increasingly preferred at right-back but currently out injured.

That has forced Chelsea to look at players, and Porro would be a solid addition to Alonso's defence.

However, the Blues are not alone in their pursuit. Liverpool and Manchester City are also assessing their right-back situations, meaning Chelsea could be in for a battle if they decide to up their interest.

Spurs will demand record-breaking transfer fee

Even if Chelsea decide to pursue Porro, convincing Tottenham to sell will be another matter entirely.

The defender is under contract until 2031, giving Spurs a strong negotiating position.

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham have a world-record valuation in mind for a full-back. Therefore, any interested club would need to surpass the £57million fee Paris Saint-Germain paid for Achraf Hakimi in 2021.

Even there is no denying Porro is one of the Premier League's best, and most consistent, full-backs, signing him would be a huge investment for any club.

There is also the question of what Porro wants to do with his career next. The Spanish full-back is reportedly keen on a return to La Liga, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid having shown interest in signing him.

Barcelona are understood to be particularly interested, although their ability to finance a deal could depend on outgoing transfers.

That leaves Chelsea with plenty of competition, both from England and abroad.
