ROMERO SIGNS FOUR-YEAR EXTENSION TO STAY AT TOTTENHAM
Romero Signs New Deal as Spurs’ Long-Term Leader
Tottenham have moved quickly to lock down one of their most influential players, with Cristian Romero committing his future to the club until 2029. The Argentina international, who arrived from Atalanta back in 2021, has grown from a commanding defender into the heartbeat of the Spurs dressing room.
From New Arrival to Trophy-Winning Captain
When Romero first joined on loan, few could have predicted how central he would become to Tottenham’s ambitions. Over the past four years, the 27-year-old has featured in 126 matches, scored eight goals, and written himself into club history by captaining Spurs to their Europa League triumph over Manchester United, ending a trophy drought that had lasted nearly two decades.
That moment of lifting silverware transformed Romero from a reliable centre-half into a true leader, and his bond with the Spurs faithful has only strengthened since.
Loyalty Over Transfer Rumours
The defender’s consistency had caught the eye of Atletico Madrid during the summer, sparking speculation about a return to La Liga. Instead, Tottenham acted decisively — naming Romero captain under new boss Thomas Frank and tying him down with a fresh long-term contract. With two years still left on his old deal, Spurs have ensured their defensive lynchpin remains at the heart of their project for years to come.
Spence Joins Romero in Extending Stay
Romero’s extension wasn’t the only good news for Spurs fans. Djed Spence has also committed to the club until 2028.
The right-back endured a turbulent start after signing from Middlesbrough in 2022, spending loan spells at Rennes, Leeds and Genoa. Yet last season proved to be his breakthrough, with 42 appearances and two goals under Ange Postecoglou, convincing the club to keep him as part of their long-term plans.
The Bigger Picture
For Thomas Frank, securing Romero and Spence sends a clear message about Tottenham’s direction. Romero’s leadership, combined with Spence’s revival, forms the backbone of a squad that is being shaped to compete consistently for honours. Spurs are not just building for the present — they’re laying down foundations for the next five years.
