Porto keen on signing Tottenham's Danny Rose

Porto are in negotiations to sign Tottenham Hotspur left back Danny Rose as they look to secure a replacement for Alex Telles.

Rose is out of favour at Spurs, with Jose Mourinho not relying on him for the current season, opening the door for Porto to sign him.

The 30-year old fullback has represented England on 29 occasions since making his debut in 2016 and was part of the England squad at the Nations League finals in Portugal last year.

He spent the second half of last season out on loan at Newcastle United, playing 13 matches for the English emblem.
