Tottenham’s Pedro Porro has enjoyed a very strong start to the season in all competitions, however is in a league of his own when it comes to his stats for this season.
As was the case under Ange Postecoglou, the right-back has emerged as a key player for Thomas Frank, starting every game they have played since the new manager came through the door.
Porro has also seen his good performances earn himself a starting place in the Spain national team this season, where Porro was praised for an excellent display against Turkey in particular.
He has been part of a backline that has kept four clean sheets in their opening five games across the Premier League and Champions League, whilst also providing a threat going forwards.
The 10 stats topped by Pedro Porro amongst all full-backs this season
Spanish media praised Porro ahead of Spurs’ meeting with Villarreal in the Champions League, and this has only been backed up by the stats which are firmly in his favour.
As per DataMB, Porro sits first amongst all Premier League full-backs across a wide range of stats, including defensive contributions like duels won, as well as offensive stats such as passes into the final third and penalty area.
With the likes of countryman Marc Cucurella enjoying strong starts to their own season, the fact Porro tops so many of these stats is seriously impressive.
Porro has case for best full-back in the Premier League
If Spurs maintain the defensive capabilities they have shown under Frank this season, there is certainly an argument that Porro is amongst the best in his position in the Premier League.
Last season he scored twice and assisted six goals in the league, and adding that to a plethora of clean sheets would be pretty remarkable.
It remains to be seen if he can keep this up for a potential banana skin for Spurs at the weekend against Brighton, a fixture they lost by a combined score of 7-3 last season.
