Pedro Porro makes James Maddison Tottenham feelings clear after ruthless call before Brighton

Latest Tottenham news with Pedro Porro sending a clear message to James Maddison before the international break

Pedro Porro has made his feelings on Tottenham teammate James Maddison perfectly clear following two major announcements. The duo have been key in Spurs' impressive recent run of form with Porro as just one of four players to retain his place in the starting XI for Thursday's Europa League win against Ferencvaros.

With Destiny Udogie absent through injury, Porro was required to invert and bomb down the touchline with Ben Davies and Archie Gray filling in at left-back. The 25-year-old put in one of his best performances of the season out in Hungary with only the cross bar denying him a second goal of the season.

As a result of his performances for Spurs, Porro has been rewarded on the international stage with a call-up to the Spain squad for the first time since March. Dominic Solanke will also be busy over the October international break after being selected to represent England for the first time in seven years, however Maddison missed out.

Despite having performed at a high level for the last few weeks, the attacking midfielder was ruthlessly left out seemingly because of the options Lee Carsley has in his position. Though Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden are ahead of him in the pecking order, Porro is confident Maddison will be back very soon.

In response to his Spain return, Maddison wrote on Tottenham's Instagram post: "About time!!!! Congrats Peter! @PedroPorro29_ [two white heart emojis]". Porro then replied: "@Madders your time will come [flexed arm and white heart emoji] the fight is not negotiated [heart faced emoji]."

As he sees the work Maddison puts in on a daily basis, Porro is clearly full of belief that his fellow Tottenham star will be back on the international stage very soon. While Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou may be happy Maddison will remain at Hotspur Way for the next two weeks, he seems to think he is deserving of an England call-up.

I think Madders has been outstanding so far this year," he admitted earlier this week. "His form from the first game has been really strong physically. I've said a few times that he's back at the levels where he can play in the manner he wants to and do everything he wants in a game.

"In the last two or three weeks he's had an effect on goals and assists as well, which always gets highlighted with players in his position, but his general play has been outstanding. I'm sure if he continues in that vein he will be in the conversation for England squads moving forward."
