Cristian Romero has had a terrific October for Tottenham Hotspur, and he’s been recognised for a string of excellent performances by being selected in WhoScored‘s Team of the Month across Europe’s top five leagues.
Tottenham Hotspur are flying, with an unbeaten start under Ange Postecoglou helping the Lilywhites climb to the top of the Premier League table with a two-point lead over their closest rivals.
Much of that success has been down to Ange-ball and the attacking football Spurs have played, but their last three results have all been hard-fought victories over stubborn opposition. The foundation of these wins has been in a solid defence.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are at the heart of that, and the pair have formed an impressive partnership at the back for Spurs.

Romero is one of the best in Europe
According to WhoScored, Romero has been the best centre-half in all of Europe’s top five leagues in October, pulling in an average score of 7.58 over the month.
He is partnered in the Team of the Month by Brentford’s Ethan Pinnock, who scored slightly less at 7.53 on average.

Romero helped Spurs keep two clean sheets from three games in October, and could have made it a full house had Jordan Ayew’s controversial goal not been given in the win over Crystal Palace.
What is most impressive regarding Romero’s recent displays, helping him achieve such a high score, is his composure and coolness at the back, something he was lacking last season.
Spurs Web Opinion
Cristian Romero is going from strength to strength this season, and you can tell he is thriving on that responsibility of being vice-captain, and also from having someone like Micky van de Ven next to him who is clearly looking to him for guidance at times.
