Tottenham star Pedro Porro reveals he will donate part of his salary to aid Valencia flood victims following historic floods with more heavy rain expected

Tottenham defender Pedro Porro has revealed he is offering up part of his salary to help aid the relief efforts in Valencia following catastrophic floods in the Spanish region.

To date, over 200 people have been confirmed dead across Spain, although authorities fear that the toll may rise sharply over the coming days, with almost 2,000 people having been reported missing in the coastal city.

The horrific weather conditions which resulted in a year's worth of rain fall in just eight hours, is the worst flood to hit the country for decades.

Spanish international Porro, has been left horrified by the scenes he has witnessed in his homeland, admitting he would fly back to help his country if his football schedule had allowed him.

However the 25-year-old said he will instead be donating part of his £66,000-a-week wages to help Valencia flood victims and to aid the clean-up efforts.

Speaking after Tottenham's impressive 4-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday , the Spurs man dedicated the win to Spanish people, he said: 'First of all, I just want to say that, well, for a Spaniard, today, for all Spaniards, it's a sad day.

'I think we've had three, four, five days of terrible suffering. I can't even imagine what it's like for everyone involved in Valencia.

'And, as I posted on social media, I want to dedicate this victory to them.'

Both the Spurs and Aston Villa player's wore black armbands for the game as a tribute to the victims of the flood.

When asked about the devastating floods and what it was like to watch the disastrous damage the unprecedented rainfall caused to the area from England, he said: 'There's a sense of helplessness.

'Helplessness about not being there, because I know what it's like to be 'in the mud'.

'I'd be the first one there to help, to show up, but I'm in London, I have competitions, I can't.

'I'd say it's helplessness because I'd like to help.

'But I've already spoken to my agents, and I'm going to donate part of my salary to cover whatever they need, to buy shovels, food, especially anything they need.'

Porro joined The Lily Whites back in 2023 from Sporting Lisbon for £40m, after spending the previous season on loan with the club.

And he has since become a key part of Ange Postecoglou's squad, making 60 appearances in under two years.

The highly-rated full-back was one of the many Premier League stars to welcome new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, singing the praises of his former coach when he was asked about his anticipated arrival to English football.

Speaking about his former boss, who he spent three years under at Sporting Lisbon, Porro said: "He's coming to one of the best stages in the world, the Premier League.

'So I wish him the best and hope things go as well as possible for him.

'The confidence he gave me was fundamental for me, and that's why, when I arrived at Sporting, things went well for me. Apart from him, the style of play also suited me well.'
