New Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has made his position clear on Cristian Romero, calling the defender \u201ccrucial\u201d to both the team and the club\u2019s ambitions.<\/p>\n
Speaking in his early remarks after taking charge, De Zerbi underlined Romero\u2019s importance in strong terms. \u201cCuti Romero is crucial for us, crucial for Tottenham as a club,\u201d he said. The Italian coach did not stop there. He went further by labelling the Argentine centre-back as possibly the most important player in the current squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is the captain, he is maybe the most important player in our squad, and to achieve our goal, we need the best of Romero,\u201d De Zerbi added. The statement sends a clear message about the role Romero is expected to play under the new regime.<\/p>\n
However, the situation around the player remains uncertain. Reports in recent weeks have suggested that Romero has been considering a move away from Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season. Interest from top European clubs has only added to the speculation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
