Tottenham source responds to strong claim Cristian Romero is wanted by Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur fans will surely be up in arms if Cristian Romero joins Arsenal.

Sol Campbell knows first-hand how supporters in N17 react to a player switching allegiances between the two North London clubs.

With the Gunners linked with the Argentina international, it will be interesting to see how the story develops.

Romero could make the gravest of sins at Spurs if he moves to Arsenal this transfer window.

There has been talk of the centre-back leaving the Lilywhites in recent months, and while fans expect it at this point, the thought of him moving to the Emirates Stadium will surely anger many.

Roberto De Zerbi has enough options in the backline after Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke's arrival, but they now have a monumental decision to make with the 2022 World Cup winner.

How Tottenham feel about selling Cristian Romero to Arsenal

According to The Athletic on 6 August, Romero is attracting interest from Arsenal and has admirers at the Emirates Stadium.

The report admits the chances of the 28-year-old defender's move between the North London rivals look slim.

Now, according to The Sun reporter Tom Barclay on 8 August, a source at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has reiterated that the club wouldn't entertain any offers from the Gunners for their centre-back.

Romero has captained Spurs in recent seasons and fans would never be able to forgive him if he joins Arsenal this summer.

Where Cristian Romero will likely end up this summer

Romero's exit from Tottenham feels inevitable and Inter Milan seemed close to signing him, but the noise around that has died down for now.

The centre-back has a mixed reputation among the Spurs supporters, but on his day, he's certainly one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

What some fans love about the Argentine national in N17 is his aggressive style of play.

It looks like the Lilywhites fanbase may no longer be able to witness him play for them.

Considering the centre-back's approach to the game, Atletico Madrid feels like the perfect destination for him.

Diego Simeone is known for his intense character, and it isn't surprising that Los Colchoneros are ready to make a bid for him.

Romero moving to Atletico looks like the right move for all parties involved.
