Tottenham captain Cristian Romero signs new contract until 2029

By George Sessions, PA

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has ended uncertainty over his future by signing a new long-term contract at the club.

The 27-year-old Argentina centre-back, who had been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer, was named as Spurs’ new skipper on Wednesday following the departure of Son Heung-min.

Romero had entered the final two years of his previous deal, but has put pen to paper on new terms running until 2029, the PA news agency understands.
