Tottenham Hotspur captain, Cristian Romero, has pledged his future to the club by signing a new four-year contract. This move comes as a significant boost for Spurs fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike.
The 27-year-old Argentina centre-back joined Spurs from Atletico Madrid in August 2021. Initially on loan, the move was made permanent the following summer. Since then, he has made an impressive 126 appearances for the club and scored eight goals.
Romero played a pivotal role in leading Tottenham to victory in the Europa League final against Manchester United. This win ended Tottenham's long-standing 17-year wait for a trophy and marked a significant milestone in Romero's career at Spurs.
Speculations put to rest
Over the summer, there were heavy speculations linking Romero with a move back to Atletico Madrid. However, these rumours have now been put to rest with this new contract announcement.
Tottenham Hotspur defender, Cristian Romero, said:
"We want to win. Maybe why not win again this season? Another trophy with the club is important for everyone,"
"For me this club is the best in the world. The last two weeks, first [being appointed] captain and now signing the contract with the club - for me it's a fantastic decision."
New head coach Thomas Frank named Romero as club captain after his stellar performances last season. The new deal ensures that he will remain under contract in north London until 2029.
Upon signing his new contract, an elated Romero expressed his happiness at staying with Spurs. He stated that he was "very happy" at Tottenham and predicted an exciting "special season" ahead for the club after their Europa League triumph last campaign. This news is likely to be well-received by sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts who have been closely following developments at Tottenham Hotspur.
