Tim Vickery has said on Sky Sports News (12:37pm, August 6, 2021) what Tottenham Hotspur fans can expect from Cristian Romero.
The well-known and well-respected South American football expert has outlined the attributes of Romero that Tottenham fans are going to see.
Vickery said about Romero on Sky Sports News (12:37pm, August 6, 2021): “Combative, sometimes maybe a little bit too combative, 23, so there is a lot of football ahead of him.
“Tottenham may be paying a little bit over the odds for him, but there is plenty to like about him. A real fighter.”
Tottenham Hotspur interest
Romero is on the verge of joining Tottenham from Atalanta.
According to The London Evening Standard, Spurs will pay the Italian club €50 million (£42.48m) plus €5 million (£4.25m) in add-ons for the 23-year-old Argentina international central defender.
Sky Sports reported late last night that Romero has completed a medical.
Exciting for Tottenham Hotspur fans
Vickery is one of the most well-known and most well-informed South American football experts, and his verdict on Romero should excite the Tottenham fans.
The defender helped Atalanta finish in the Serie A top four last season, and he also won the Copa America with Argentina this summer.
Spurs need to sign quality defenders, not just for now, but for the long term as well.
Romero scored two goals and gave two assists in 31 Serie A games last season.
The defender also scored one goal and gave one assist in seven Champions League matches in 2020-21.
