Cristian Romero completes move to Spurs
Cristian Romero has completed his move from Atalanta to Tottenham for a fee in the region of £42m.
The 23-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and joins up with fellow summer recruits Bryan Gil and former Atalanta team-mate Pierluigi Gollini
He completes his switch to north London having helped Atalanta to a third consecutive third-placed finish in Serie A last season.
The defender, who has won five caps for Argentina, adds to new boss Nuno Espirito Santo’s defensive options following the departure of Toby Alderweireld last month.
Tottenham are expected to look to sign one more defender ahead of the new season and remain in talks with Bologna over Takehiro Tomiyasu. However, Colombia international Davinson Sanchez has been made available for transfer.
