Who should Spurs sign in last minute deal?

James
Traore
Ziyech
Indeed, the 2022/2023 Premier League season will be a crucial one as far as supporters are concerned with all eyes on manager Antonio Conte, the squad and whether they can build upon their Champions League qualification from last campaign.
Romero, in a further boost for the club, has now put pen to paper on a permanent Spurs deal from Atalanta with Bridge sharing his ecstatic reaction.
The Latest: Bridge excited by ‘massive’ Romero news…
Speaking on broadcast, the Sky journalist claimed this news is ‘massive’ and a major positive for the north Londoners ahead of a long season.
He explained:
“Massive, massive news, he joined last year from Atalanta with the obligation to buy so Tottenham were always going to take this up because he’s such a great defender.
“He’s one of Tottenham’s best signings over the last few seasons, yes it’s not cheap, but he’s a proper defender, for me he’s one of the best in the Premier League.”
The Verdict: Amazing update…
Romero stood out as a colossus for Spurs when available last season, making more tackles and interceptions per 90 than any of his teammates in the top flight (WhoScored).
Indeed, the Argentine will certainly be an invaluable asset for Conte, already starting every match for which he is available/fit this season and looking a dead cert to continue his fine form throughout the campaign.
