According to Bernabeu Digital, Real Madrid is getting more and more depressed over not signing Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon when they had the chance.

Despite having a difficult beginning to his time at Tottenham, Porro has improved greatly in the last few months, registering six assists in the Premier League this year.

Real Madrid appears to be regretting their decision to pass on him as he is rapidly becoming one of the best right-backs in the English premier league.

Real Madrid chose against move for Pedro Porro

According to Bernabeu Digital, Porro was interested in joining Los Blancos from Sporting before he moved to Spurs, and at one point, they may have done so for €40 million (£34.3 million).

The La Liga team’s board, however, chose to stick with Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez, which allowed Spurs to make a move for Porro.

According to the article, Real Madrid’s hopes of signing the Spain international are now “a thing of the past,” as he is currently regarded as “one of the best right-backs in the world.”

This season, Porro’s performances have received less attention than they should have, maybe because Udogie has stolen the show since he started out so well at Tottenham, but the Spaniard has been outstanding and seems to be improving every time he plays.

I’m one of the Premier League’s fastest ever stars and could’ve become Team GB sprinter

Even though Aaron Lennon had never competed in a legitimate 100-meter race, he was given the opportunity to train as a sprinter for Great Britain.

The former winger is among the fastest players in Premier League history after developing a reputation for leaving defenders in his wake. He played for Leeds, Tottenham, Everton, and Burnley during his incredibly successful career.

Although Lennon played the flank most of his career, the 36-year-old disclosed that while growing up in Leeds, he was offered the opportunity to pursue a different career in addition to starting his career in a different position.

Lennon said to talkSPORT Drive, when asked how quickly he could run a hundred meters, “I’ve never done it.” It’s something I have never done.

“We used to race each other around the block or the street, and in school, we would go to the wall and back, but we never did 100 meters. That’s not what my school did.

“I participated in one race, which I believe was for Yorkshire’s fastest.” I recall that as the other competitors arrived with their blocks, I was just getting ready to race, my trainers at the ready, but I won with ease!

To nominate the fastest students in the class for this age group, the schools organized the event. The first section was timed at thirty meters, and the top eight competitors advanced to an untimed 100-meter race, which I easily won.

“I want to play football, it’s not for me,” I said to a coach who asked me if I wanted to run for West Yorkshire or Great Britain, or whatever the title was at the time.

When asked if playing football was his career choice, Lennon replied, “Yeah, nothing else.”

It used to occur frequently. They would push you out wide if you were a quick player, and back then, you usually had two large strikers, so I went wide and it just stuck.

I think I would play left wing now. Now, when do you see a right-footed player playing on the right side? That’s why I’d be on the left side. It is no longer the case.

“I actually played a lot of left-sided games, and I felt that you always had more opportunities to score goals on the left, but I didn’t mind it.”

When asked if he had ever signed a boot deal as the youngest player, Lennon replied, “Yeah, with adidas.” It was made of peanuts. Really, it wasn’t much money—not at all.

“Boots were becoming so costly; at one point, they were £120! The entire street was full of them, so I could have as many as I desired.

“The only issue was that every pair that arrived had my name on it because that was the period when they wanted to put my name on the tongue.”
