Tottenham Hotspur will complete the permanent signing of Cristian Romero in the summer
According to Football.London, Tottenham Hotspur will use the option to permanently buy Cristian Romero from Atalanta in the upcoming 2022 summer transfer window.
Since Antonio Conte took charge of the team, Cristian Romero has been a first-team starter. But the Spurs fans couldn’t enjoy much of his performance in the early half due to fitness issues.
In recent weeks, the Atalanta loanee has become one of the most crucial performers for Tottenham , putting on awe-inspiring performances in challenging games. His recent heroics came in the 3-1 win against Leicester City where he dominated proceedings from the centre-back spot.
Tottenham initially signed the Argentinian defender on a season-long loan with an option (no obligation) to make the deal permanent for £42.5million. The North London outfit were already hopeful about extending his stay. Now it is believed that the Spurs will complete the capture of the 24-year-old in the coming summer transfer window.
How can Cristian Romero help Tottenham?
Conte has preferred to use three central defenders for his backline. In the absence of Romero, Davinson Sánchez used to feature in the defence. However, the Colombian star’s lousy performances have outlined several defensive vulnerabilities in this term.
Japhet Tanganga has given few convincing performances, but his recurring injury issue remains a significant problem for the team and the Italian manager.
Amid such a situation, Romero’s permanent move would boost our squad’s defensive depth. Considering he is still young, he would be able to give us peak performances for several years.
Romero has made several sublime performances in his 29 appearances across all competitions for Spurs in this campaign. The Argentine star’s performances helped our Italian manager avoid defensive problems. As his form grows, he could become one of the top performers in the Premier League.
