Antonio Conte has been urged to build his Tottenham team around centre-back Cristian Romero.
The Argentinian arrived from Atalanta for around £42million last summer but has been sidelined since the 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park on November 7.
But he made an impressive return as he lasted 77 minutes in the 3-1 FA Cup fourth round win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend, and former player Paul Robinson was particularly impressed.
