Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has signed a new deal to stay at the club until the summer of 2029.
The 27-year-old Argentina internatinal had been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer but was named as the club’s new captain last week.
New boss Thomas Frank said lasst week that Romero was a key player.
“I see a very big and very good player. What I like about him and why I have chosen him as captain is his leadership qualities on the pitch,” Frank explained.
“There is a big respect for him from the players. Off the pitch as well he also sets the standards.
“The staff have said to me they’ve never seen him train that well. He’s in a very good place. I see a player that will want to lead the team and push the team.”
Centre-back Romero first joined Spurs in 2021 on loan from Atalanta before the transfer was made permanent a year later.
