Tottenham HotspurAston Villa boss Unai Emery is well aware of the threat of Pedro Porro.
Our Spanish wing-back has made a very bright start to his career in England, and his compatriot Emery, boss of Saturday's opponents Villa, has been watching his progress.
Despite difficult beginnings following his loan move from Sporting CP in January, Pedro has shone for us, particularly in an attacking sense with four goal involvements (two scored, two assisted) in just 11 Premier League appearances to date.
Villans manager Emery knows his side will need to find a way to stop our number 23 if they are to get a positive result at Villa Park - and the Spaniard has even suggested his team will double up on the wing-back in a bid to prevent Pedro starring once more.
"(Porro) is playing very well," he said. "He’s a strong player offensively and defensively. He’ll face (Alex) Moreno and (Lucas) Digne and I want to stop him and take the challenge with the duels."
