Tottenham's Cristian Romero Signs Contract Extension Until 2029

Tottenham Hotspur's centre-back, Cristian Romero, has signed a new 'long-term' contract with the club, set to run until the end of the 2028-29 season.

New Captain Appointment

Romero, a World Cup and two-time Copa América-winning player, was named as the club's new captain after Son Heung-Min's transfer to LAFC. His contract extension comes as a boost to new Spurs boss Thomas Frank.

Performance and Achievements

Romero joined Spurs in 2021 and played a crucial role in their Europa League success. He captained the team in key matches and was instrumental in their victory over Manchester United. His defensive partner, Djed Spence, also signed a new contract with the club.

The confirmation of Romero's commitment to Tottenham follows speculation of interest from Atlético Madrid during the transfer window, but the player has expressed his desire to stay in north London.
