EPL: Tottenham signs new four-year deal with captain Romero.

Tottenham Hotspur captain, Cristian Romero, has signed a new four-year contract, committing him to the club until 2029. 

Romero, a 27-year-old Argentine centre-back, who joined Spurs on loan from Atalanta in August 2021, with the move being made permanent the following year. was named club captain by new head coach Thomas Frank after being heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid over the summer.

Romero follows right-back Djed Spence in signing a new long-term contract with the club. 

25-year-old Spence arrived from Middlesbrough in 2022 and had a difficult start to his Spurs career, spending loan spells at Rennes, Leeds, and Genoa, but he emerged as an important player for Ange Postecoglou last season, making 42 appearances and scoring twice.

Thomas Frank has praised Romero's leadership qualities on the pitch, saying there is a big respect for him from the players, adding that he is in a very good place and he is a player who will lead and push the team.
