After months of speculation about his future, Romero is now Tottenham's new captain and club figurehead - so what about a new deal?

Tottenham have confirmed that Cristian Romero has been appointed club captain by Thomas Frank following Son Heung-min’s move to LAFC. “I think he has all the right qualities,” Frank said of the 27-year-old. “He leads from his behaviour on the pitch, driving the team forward in every way, and outside the pitch he’s always pushing the team.”

Cristian Romero has been appointed as the new captain of Tottenham Hotspur after Son Heung Min ’s departure. Son led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years with victory in the Europa League at the end of last season, but has now departed the club after a decade in London to join LAFC.
