Tottenham Close to Deal for Atlanta defender Cristian Romero

1. Tottenham Close to Deal for Atlanta defender Cristian Romero Cristian Romero is extensively seen as one of the outstanding center-backs in the Italian game. In fact, in the last season, none of the defenders in Serie A performed better than the Argentine, with Romero carrying his club form into Copa America. After sealing the loan deal for Atlanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, Tottenham’s director of football Fabio Paratici started working hard to buy Romero for their Club, who also became the point of attraction for Manchester United this summer. Romero is the player with unmatched caliber, which is expected to increase at Tottenham. However, the new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, might implement his trademark 3-5-2 shape on Spurs and make this formation work; Tottenham Hotspur reportedly agreed to a fee of around 43 million Euros. The transfer is expected to complete in a few days from Atalanta to the Premier League club. It is essential for Romero to pick a pass as technically the 3-5-2 system relies on the defenders playing from the back. The final deal would be a transformational singing for North London Club as it can transform the backline of Spurs ahead of one of the most crucial seasons for the Club. The club made the calculations and concluded that the signing of Romero would help in saving money and improving the performance of the club. The North London Club is currently suffering from the poor performance of their two main center- backs, Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez. Additionally, the club is missing their previous center back, Toby Alderweireld which has been already sold to the Qatari club Al-Duhail. These two reasons are why the club to sign Cristian as soon as possible. As per the statistics, Romero ranks better than the current defensive options of Tottenham. He won more aerial duels per 90 minutes last season than any of the Spur players. Also, more interceptions per 90 minutes were scored by Romero than any new teammates. He also boasted for a pass accuracy rate of 86%, which is similar to the accuracy of Tottenham’s best defensive passer, Joe Rodon. Moreover, he is physically sound for getting successful in Premier League. This season has become the best for betting enthusiasts as most of the clubs are reshuffling and further buying or selling new players. After the expected move of Raphaël Varane to Manchester United, Arsenal is continuously working to buy Ben White from Brighton. Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur has already shortlisted Cristian Romero, and Liverpool closed an agreement with Ibrahima Konaté.
