How serious is Arsenal’s interest in Cristian Romero?

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Spurs captain Cristian Romero, as the Argentinian is reportedly on his way out of Tottenham Stadium this summer.

Romero is an established Premier League defender whose experience could be really helpful to Arsenal as they look to continue winning trophies. He has been one of the most reliable players in the Tottenham team, but he now wants a change as he looks to ensure that he can achieve more at club level.

In recent weeks, several clubs have been working on a move for him, and Sport Witness reveals that Arsenal’s interest is genuine and that they have already made contact with his entourage.

Arsenal face competition for Romero

However, Arsenal are not leading the race for his signature right now, with Atletico Madrid considered his most likely next club as the Spanish side close in on a move for him.

He has given the green light for that to happen, and Arsenal could struggle to convince him to stay in London. Nevertheless, the Gunners surely have a serious interest in his signature in this transfer window.

Romero’s experience at the highest level makes him an attractive option for Arsenal, particularly as they look to maintain their position among the leading clubs in England and Europe.

Romero could be a major signing

Having achieved so much on the international level and won the Europa League with Tottenham, Romero would be one of the best signings Arsenal could make this summer.

His experience could provide Arsenal with another dependable option in defence, while his record at international and club level would add further quality to their squad. The Gunners may face a difficult battle to secure his signature, particularly with Atletico Madrid currently considered favourites for his next move.

Arsenal’s reported contact with Romero’s entourage shows that their interest is serious, but the defender’s willingness to move to Atletico could make a deal difficult. The Gunners will therefore have to act decisively if they want to keep the Argentinian in London and bring him across the north London divide.
