Son Heung-min has lavished praise on Cristian Romero, admitting that he loves watching the way the Argentine plays.
Romero’s talent has never been in doubt, with the centre-back producing some excellent displays for both club and country over the last few years.
Some perhaps doubted his temperament, with the defender often finding himself getting into altercations on the pitch.
However, so far this season, the signs are that Romero is starting to learn to control his aggression and channel it appropriately.
The 25-year-old has hardly put a foot wrong this campaign and with his pacy central defensive partner, Micky van de Ven, sweeping behind him, the former Atalanta star has been at his combative best.
Romero has also been able to showcase his ability on the ball in Ange Postecoglou’s system, with the centre-back often making some line-breaking passes.

Heung-min Son is a big fan of Cristian Romero
The Argentina international has emerged as the leader of Tottneham’s young backline and Son waxed lyrical about his teammate.
When asked about Romero’s display, the forward told Spurs Play after the win over Fulham: “Cuti is just special. Just look at him, I could watch him all day sitting he and watch the way he plays.”

I have been impressed with the composure and maturity that Romero has shown this season, which could be a direct consequence of him being handed the vice-captaincy by Postecoglou.
