Tim Sherwood says 24-year-old Tottenham player has been transformed under Ange Postecoglou

Tim She💫rwood has singled out Tottenham Hotspur full-back Pedro Porro for praise after an ওimpressive start to the season.

Porro has started in every Premier League game under Ange Postecoglou since missing♏ ou𝔍t on the opening-day draw at Brentford. 

The 24-year-old completed a switch to Tottenham over 𒆙the summer after initially joining on a loan deal back in January.

It’s fair to say t🐭hat Porro received plenty of criticism during the early stages of his Spurs career as he struggled to adjust to the demands of En🃏glish football.

Indeed, Sherwood slammed Porro on his debut in the 4-1 defeat at Leices🧔ter City back in February, claiming the Spaniard was ‘all over the place’ on .

But the former Spurs boss seems to have had a change of heart on Porro and feels he is now excelling under Postecoglou’s guiꦫdance.

Sherwood says Porro has been transformed under Postecoglou

Speaking on , Sherwood discussed Tottenham’s chances of challe💝nging for the title after a brilliant start to the season.

And the pundit decided to single out Porro for praise after previously critici꧙sing the defender.

He said: “Dare I say﷽ it? Pedro Porro has done well.”

“Do you know why I wasn’t his number one fan? Because he was playing in a position as a right-back and staying ther൩e and just being asked to defend,” Sherwood added. “It’s not what he’s good at.

“He’s good at going on the offensive, he gets forward, he gets there at the right time. He’s aggressive and he wins the 🅘💫ball back.”

Porro has provided a brilliant creative outlet for Spurs down the right-hꦍand side so far this season and seems perfectly suited to Postecog𒆙lou’s demands. 

The Spaniard has also improved on tℱhe defensive side of his game, which was certainly a cause for concern last sea♔son.

Many expected Porro to struggle in a back-four after he was uncon🐬vincing in his favoured wing-back role last time out.

But the change 🅷of manager has benefitted the defender massively and he has been exceptional in that ⛎inverted full-back role under Postecoglou.
