Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro has signed a new, long-term contract with the club, understood to run until 2031.
Porro, 26, had two years remaining on the contract he signed when he joined Spurs on a permanent transfer from Sporting CP in the summer of 2023.
Spurs had initially signed Porro on loan in January 2023 with an obligation to make the move permanent that summer for £40 million.
The Spaniard has made 152 appearances for Spurs including 47 in all competitions last season, the most of anyone in Roberto De Zerbi's squad.
"During the past three-and-half years, he has made huge progress to become one of the best full-backs in the game, and the fact he is about to play in the World Cup for Spain is testament to that," said Spurs sporting director Johan Lange.
"His character, work ethic and quality are exactly what we look for when building a squad capable of competing at the highest level and we are delighted that he has chosen to continue his journey with the club."
Spurs boss De Zerbi added: "As well as his technical quality, I also love his mentality. Every day he wants to work, to learn and to improve, and these are the characteristics that help players reach the highest level.
"He understands football in a very intelligent way, and brings energy, intensity and personality to the team."
