Tottenham Hotspur receive promising update on 'best centre-back in the world'

Cristian Romero’s future at Tottenham appears to be taking shape, and for once, it is good news for Spurs fans hoping the club keeps its top stars.

One of Tottenham Hotspur’s main focuses this summer window is to keep hold of some of their better players, while they strengthen the rest of their squad.

Spurs have looked to show some ambition so far this summer, signing Mohammed Kudus for £55 million, making him their fourth most expensive signing ever in their history.

Tottenham looked to show more ambition following that move, swiftly looking to sign Morgan Gibbs-White after having paid up his release clause, but Spurs have since missed out on the Forest midfielder, following his signing of a new contract.

Cristian Romero now expected to stay at Tottenham

It remains to be seen if Tottenham show more ambition this summer following their recent setback.

However, on the other front, in terms of keeping their best players, Spurs look to have made significant strides in that regard, as the New York Times is now reporting that Tottenham defender Cristian Romero is likely to remain at Hotspur Way this summer.

Romero has been subject to consistent links with a move away from Tottenham, with Atletico Madrid showing a keen interest in landing the Argentine.

However, the Spanish outfit’s interest has since cooled off, as they are reported to have turned their attention to other targets.

Why keeping Cristian Romero is key for Spurs

Of course, Romero’s remaining at Tottenham is a major boost to the north London club looking to compete on all fronts next season, including in the Champions League.

Romero is a player with a host of experience, having won the Copa America, World Cup and more recently the Europa League, which makes it even more important to keep him at Tottenham given his experience and leadership.

Cristian Romero was labelled the best defender in the world by Liverpool star Mac Allister, showing just how highly rated he is among his peers.

Spurs are looking to get back up in the Premier League, following their horrendous spell last term, and if they are to do so, it is important they keep their very best players.
