Cristian Romero has issued a message to Tottenham fans following their victory over West Ham United, with the Spurs captain showing his leadership qualities early in the season as the team continues to build momentum.
Cristian Romero would be hoping Tottenham Hotspur have a successful season under his captaincy, particularly after the club lifted the Europa League trophy last term.
Heung-min Son was the man who guided Spurs to that triumph, leaving Romero with sizeable boots to fill this campaign, yet the Argentine defender will be pleased with the way Tottenham have started the new season.
Three wins from their opening four Premier League fixtures, just one goal conceded and a clean sheet already on the board all point to genuine progress for Tottenham, who ended last season with a negative goal difference.
Cristian Romero sends message after Tottenham win over West Ham
Romero has been central to Tottenham’s defensive improvements, with the centre-back at the heart of the clean sheet against Manchester City in matchweek two, another clean sheet in the opening fixture, and an assist in the win over West Ham, where Spurs once again shut out the opposition.
Taking it step by step, Tottenham look to be building steadily, and following the victory against West Ham, Romero addressed the fans with a message on X, stating the importance of the result and the team’s commitment to improving.
Romero said, via his official account: “Big win, great team performance. No doubt we still need to keep improving, but this is the way. Incredible support from the fans – thank you! See you Tuesday at home.”
Spurs kept Romero despite Atletico Madrid interest
Tottenham did run the risk of losing Romero to Atletico Madrid last summer, but the Lilywhites managed to keep him in N17, much to the relief of supporters.
With Cristian Romero having now signed a new contract, his focus is fully on Tottenham and on delivering success on the pitch as captain.
Romero has even been described as the best defender in the world by Alexis Mac Allister, and with Spurs competing across multiple fronts, he will be looking to build on last season’s success and push for further silverware.
