Cristian Romero: ‘I’ve always had spirit, desire and aggression – if I ever lost that, I’d have a problem’

Has a new Tottenham Hotspur signing ever felt as instantly right as Cristian Romero? “I think sometimes things happen in football and maybe if you capture a moment with a single photo it can seem like something that wasn’t really happening,” Romero says of the incident at Old Trafford. “Since he’s arrived, the morale in the squad and certainly among the fans has changed totally around,” says Romero. I think there are still things that need to be just tweaked, perfected.” Romero knew plenty about Kane and Son and their quality before joining Tottenham, but he has also been struck by how much of a difference Spurs’ January signings have made: “The person who’s really surprised me is Kulusevski because I think he’s really added something either we didn’t have or didn’t see so often. “Because we’re building something really positive here.” Romero was speaking following a Tottenham Hotspur Foundation free sporting session at N17 Arena.
