Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed Cristian Romero as their new captain, marking a significant step in the Argentine defender's rise at the club. The 25-year-old, who joined Spurs in 2021, has been a key figure in their defence and now takes on the leadership role ahead of the new season.
Romero's Rise to Captaincy
Romero's appointment comes after a stellar campaign last season, where his commanding performances earned him plaudits from fans and pundits alike. Known for his aggressive defending and ability to read the game, the World Cup winner has quickly become a fan favourite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
"It's a huge honour to be named captain of this great club," Romero said. "I'll give everything to lead the team and make our supporters proud."
Thomas Frank's Contract Situation
Meanwhile, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has hinted at signing a new contract with the Bees. The Danish tactician, who has been linked with several top jobs in recent months, suggested he's close to extending his stay at the Gtech Community Stadium.
"We're in positive discussions," Frank revealed. "I'm very happy here and excited about the project. Brentford feels like home."
The 50-year-old has overseen Brentford's remarkable rise from Championship side to established Premier League outfit since taking charge in 2018.
What This Means for Tottenham
Romero's appointment signals Tottenham's intent to build their future around their defensive stalwart. With new manager Ange Postecoglou at the helm, Spurs fans will be hoping their new captain can help guide the team back into European contention.
The North London club begin their Premier League campaign against Brentford on Sunday, setting up an intriguing clash between Romero's Spurs and Frank's Bees.
