Cristian Romero has been impressing back in Argentina again during the international break as he started against Paraguay on Thursday in a 1-0 win.
Romero has been on fire for Spurs so far this season, putting his troubles of last campaign under Antonio Conte well and truly behind him.
The central defender has forged an impressive partnership with new signing Micky Van de Ven, and the Spurs vice-captain is now the senior figure in a new-look backline.

Romero continues to show his world-class ability
Following Argentina’s World Cup victory last year, the standards are certainly high back in his home country, but Romero continues to impress more and more with every trip back to South America.
TyC Sports claim that Romero was pressing high against Paraguay last night, taking risks with his positioning but also reaping the rewards for his bravery.
They gave the centre-back an eight out of ten rating for his performance, where he earned a win and a clean sheet. The publication wrote: “The level of risk he assumes in each advance is as high as it is effective. It psychologically demolishes his rivals.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
Cristian Romero is taking his game to the next level this season. The mistakes are getting fewer and further between, while the level of his performance has taken to new heights. Long may it continue!
