‘I’ve been waiting’… Pundit says £42m Tottenham player is finally living up to his expectations now

Cristian Romero arrived at Tottenham with a big reputation.

Before joining Tottenham, the center-half had won the Serie A Defender of the Year award, and he was also going to win the World Cup shortly after.

Despite his high expectations going into the game, Romero took some time to become comfortable at Tottenham.

Romero didn’t exactly start out well for the Spurs, but he’s become one of their better players now that he’s warmed up.

Terry Naylor, a Tottenham legend, has been talking about Romero’s progress on The Spurs Show. He claims that the player is now living up to his expectations and that he now exudes a different class on the field.

Romero looks different class

Naylor spoke about the £42m man.

“You have to take your hat off to Son, he’s done it week-in week out he looks class. Romero, I’ve been waiting for him, as a defender I love a defensive player, I’m thinking ‘come on, show them what they’re doing wrong, you’re not doing it, you’re not doing it’. That was over the first sort of six games, now, Romero, other than getting sent off, he looks different class. The Dutch boy who has just come back from injury as well looks a class player,” Naylor said.

Much improved

Naylor is spot on, Romero is finally living up to expectations in a Tottenham shirt.

The Argentine finally looks like a World Cup winning £42m centre-half, and that’s largely down to Ange Postecoglou.

The manager has found the perfect partner for Romero in Micky Van de Ven, and his high line suits the Argentine’s front-footed style of play to a tee.

Romero has improved massively over the past few months, and it’s exciting to ponder what the future holds for this Tottenham team with the World Cup winner at the heart of their defence.
