‘Special place’ – Romero’s latest admission will be music to Spurs fans’ ears
Cristian Romero has hinted that he plans on staying at Tottenham for a long time and admitting that he is absolutely in love with life in London.
Romero is into his third season at Spurs and has now emerged as the leader of Spurs’ defence, with Ange Postecoglou even making him the vice-captain.
However, until recently, a section of Tottenham supporters have always wondered if the North London club is really the priority for the 25-year-old or if his main focus remains doing well for the Argentine national time.
Some will feel that those accusations are baseless as the central defender always gives his 100 per cent and plays with his heart on his sleeve every time he steps out on the pitch.
From Romero’s body language, it certainly appears like he feels much more ownership of the current Spurs side under Postecoglou than he did previously, and the defender has now admitted that the city of London will always hold a special place in his heart.
Tottenham’s Cristian Romero loves living in London
He told SWM: “I’ve been fortunate enough to live in a few different cities during my career, but nothing compares to London. It’s a city with a brilliant story and, in my opinion, the world’s capital. I love the people here, the diversity and the history.
“I think London will always be home for me and my family even when my career has ended. The city will always hold a special place in my heart because my son, the most important person to me, was born here in London. We’re really happy here.”
The former Juventus star stated that he is grateful to Spurs for giving him the opportunity to shine on the big stage and admitted that he wants to repay that faith.
Romero added: “If I were a person who only thought about money, I would have made different decisions, but my thoughts were always about playing for Argentina.
“That’s why I had to play in the Premier League, and to do that with Tottenham Hotspur, one of the most important clubs in the game, has been incredible. I am grateful to the club and its supporters for the trust they have shown me and I will always try to repay that on the field.”

Even though there might be questions about Romero’s temperament and his ability to control his aggression, there is absolutely no doubt about his commitment or his quality. The 25-year-old could potentially be a Tottenham legend by the time he leaves the club.
