Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici has praised the impact of Cristian Romero and believes the current crop of central defenders at the club is strong.
Romero, who joined the club on an initial loan from Atalanta last summer, has continued to blossom in Antonio Conte’s rigorous defensive system.
Having missed three months due to a hamstring injury earlier in the season (transfermarkt), the 23-year-old has since returned to the side and played a vital role in Tottenham’s mini resurgence before the international break.
But Romero’s play has come alongside the consistent performances of Eric Dier, who was recently unlucky to have missed out on a recall to Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad, while Ben Davies has continued steadily in his own right.
And Paratici believes the Argentinean international has emerged as a ‘really important’ option under Conte, while hailing the other defensive options at his disposal.
He told Spurs TV: “He is a really important player for us, but I think not just him, he has a big impact but even the other defenders, they work very well at the moment.
“Eric Dier is amazing, Ben Davies the same. Sanchez, Tanganga and Rodon, when they played they did well, so we have a very good group of defenders, so we are happy.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Romero has shown flashes of why Spurs intend to shell out so much money for him this summer, and he could even have more to give.
The entire defensive unit has had its troubles this season, particularly since the turn of the year at points, but the displays before the international break were encouraging to say the least.
