Arsenal Are Locked In A Three-Way Battle For This Tottenham Hotspur Ace: Good Fit For Arteta? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Corriere dello Sport mentioned that Arsenal are locked in a three-way battle for Tottenham Hotspur ace Cristian Romero this summer. It has been revealed that the Gunners would have to compete with Inter Milan and Chelsea in the race to sign the Argentine talent this off-season.

Romero’s Inconsistent Form In North London

Romero endured an inconsistent campaign at the London club but produced a string of impressive performances for them on the defensive end of the field. The 28-year-old netted six goals and secured four assists in 32 appearances for Spurs last season in various competitions.

The Argentine talent is currently among the most talented centre-backs in the Premier League. Hence, Arsenal would do well to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

His current contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Gunners to land him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will Romero Be A Good Fit For Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta?

Romero loves a tackle and can scan the danger well to earn possession back for his side inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive and excels at playing his way out from the back.

Standing at 1.85m, the Argentine talent is a strong presence in the air as well and can chip in by scoring and creating a handful of goals for his team. He has already got a lot of experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Arsenal if they manage to snap him up later this year.

We can expect Romero to enhance the quality of Mikel Arteta’s defence. He is good enough to compete for a regular first-team spot at the North London club in the coming years.

At 28, Romero is playing in his prime, which makes him a great fit for Arsenal‘s needs in the short-term. He will also help the Gunners compete across all fronts over the next few years. Thus, Arteta would be wise to go all out to get a deal done for him before the end of this transfer window.
