Following a hugely impressive debuting season last time out, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to trigger a £41m clause in Cristian Romero’s contract which would see him become a permanent addition.
That’s according to a recent report from the Telegraph, who claims the South American centre-back is wanted by Antonio Conte on a permanent basis.
Since joining on loan from Atalanta 12 months ago, Romero, 24, has been a revelation.
Forming part of a back five along with the likes of Eric Dier and Ben Davies, the 24-year-old’s place in Conte’s first team is very assured.
Arguably one of the Premier League’s most highly-rated centre-backs, Romero’s tenacious style of play and no-nonsense approach to defending make him one of the hardest defenders to beat one-on-one.
Set to turn his initial loan permanent will come as great news to Spurs fans, who have already grown to love the Argentine.
Since arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last summer, Romero has featured in 31 matches, in all competitions, scoring once along the way.
