Tottenham fans were eagerly anticipating the debut of Cristian Romero following his move from Atalanta in the summer of 2021, hoping the Argentine would be a revelation to the Spurs defence. Just over a year on from his debut it's safe to say that, when fit, he has proven to be a Rolls Royce of a defender.
The 24-year-old has seemingly struck the perfect balance between chaos and composure and his favoured position on the right of a Spurs back three has allowed him to be aggressive in the tackle and chase down attackers with intent.
While he teeters very carefully on the edge of fair but firm, he is a massive boost to Spurs' backline when available and his commitment to playing is admirable as Antonio Conte alluded to in his Liverpool pre-match press conference where he said: "Romero I can tell you that for him, if I ask the possibility to play with one leg, he wants to play with one leg."
