Tottenham Hotspur are tracking Villarreal's 22-year-old American right-back Alex Freeman due to uncertainty over Pedro Porro's future, according to Football Insider. The report cites Freeman's impressive displays in La Liga and the Champions League as the reason for Tottenham's interest. Freeman's stock has risen since the start of the year, and he has been scouted by other Premier League clubs. Mauricio Pochettino, who managed Freeman with the US Men's National Team, has praised him as an 'amazing player'.

Tottenham face competition from Manchester United for Freeman's signature, with both clubs having scouted the player. Journalist Pete O'Rourke confirmed that Manchester United are looking to rebuild their backline and are interested in Freeman's versatility. O'Rourke stated that Freeman can play anywhere across the backline and is playing at a good level in Spain, including in the Champions League.

Pedro Porro's future at Tottenham is uncertain after he expressed a desire to return to Spain, sparking speculation about a potential move to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Porro admitted that he dreams of returning to Spain and did not rule out a move to either of the two Spanish giants. Sources claim that Barcelona have already spoken to Porro's agent about a possible move.
