Cristian Romero outlines his preferred position in Tottenham team and reveals Richarlison impact

Cristian Romero has outlined that his favourite position is in the middle of Tottenham's three-man defence. Arriving on loan from Atalanta last summer before his move was made permanent last month, the 24-year-old has been a huge success for the Lilywhites in his time at the club.

Eric Dier's role at the heart of Spurs' defence has seen Romero utilised on the right, a position which has allowed him to get forward numerous times in a game as Antonio Conte has given his wide centre-backs license to push on when the opportunity is there. Looking right at home and "comfortable" in the position, Romero has indicated that a central role is his preferred one due to his experience in the middle.

"It's very different. My favourite position is in the middle, because that's where I have always played, but I am playing on the right for the national team too now and I will happily play wherever I am asked to, so I don't have a problem with it," the Argentina international told Sky Sports.
