Pedro Porro described the fear of Tottenham suffering Premier League relegation as a “100-kilo weight”, which has now been lifted.<\/p>\n

Spurs only stayed up on the final day of the season, as they beat Everton 1-0 at home.<\/p>\n

Had they lost to the Toffees, then they would have gone down, given West Ham beat Leeds United.<\/p>\n

However, Spurs, under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, can now look forward to next season in the top-flight.<\/p>\n

And Porro acknowledged a huge pressure has now dissipated.<\/p>\n

“Physically and mentally, I am much better now when you take off the 100-kilo weight that was on top of us,” Porro said as he spoke to the media at Spain’s World Cup camp.<\/p>\n

“We had a tough end to the season, but everything worked out in the end, which is the most important thing. Roberto came in and kept us in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n

Despite Spurs’ struggles, Porro topped the charts for chances created among defenders in the Premier League in 2025-26, with 53.<\/p>\n

Only Marcos Senesi, who has now signed for Spurs, registered more expected assists among defenders than Porro in the competition, too \u2013 4.7 xA to 4.5 xA.<\/p>\n

Porro has been linked with a return to Manchester City, for whom he was contracted for three years between 2019 and 2022, albeit he spent all of those seasons out on loan.<\/p>\n

However, his immediate focus is on Spain’s World Cup campaign.<\/p>\n

“About City, I have not read anything, I do not know anything, I am concentrating on the World Cup, and then we’ll see,” said the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
