Cristian Romero says he does not want to be just another player who played for Tottenham Hotspur, but a player who makes history with the club by winning the highest honours.
Romero has already written his name into the history books by being a key part of the Argentina side which lifted the World Cup after 36 years.
The centre-back now has a chance to do something special at club level, with the Lilywhites unexpectedly sitting at the top of the Premier League table after ten matches.
That has led to conversations about whether Spurs can challenge the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal for the title this season, but that suggestion was played down by Son Heung-min, who insisted after Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace that the players are taking things one game at a time (Tribal Football).
That is a sentiment which has now been echoed by Romero, who remarked that it is too early to be talking about the title.
However, the Tottenham vice-captain stated that everyone at the North London club from top to bottom is striving to create an environment in which the side can compete for major honours consistently.

Cristian Romero wants to make history at Spurs
When asked what Spurs need to win the title, Romero told Sky Sports: “I see it this way. That obviously to win it doesn’t only depend on the coaching staff and 26-30 players in the squad.
“It doesn’t only depend on this. It depends on a lot of aspects that are around to build an institution which looks to win things like this.
“Because in the end, in the future a lot of players will have played here and to achieve something would be huge. If you don’t, you can be just another player who played for the club and I wouldn’t like that.
“For that, I always say Ange is an ideal coach for the club. The chairman is making big changes, the squad is good, we’re working for that. The Premier League is very tough, a lot of games left.
“It would be immature to talk of winning something now. Each match for us is a final and that is how we’re facing it.”
Spurs Web Opinion
One can understand why the players are not keen to entertain any talks of a title tilt publicly, given that we are just over a quarter of the way into the season.
However, they would not be human if they were not dreaming of potentially doing the impossible this season, given the football they are playing at the moment.
