Tottenham's new captain Christian Romero has expressed his strong affection for Tottenham and willingness to stay in the team in the future.
Britain's BBC reported on the 16th (Korea time) that Tottenham's pre-press conference was held ahead of the first game of the European Champions League (UCL) league stage in the 2025-2026 season.
Romero attended the press conference with director Thomas Frank. Romero was selected as the leader of the new team, with Son Heung-min leaving after Frank's appointment this season. Romero, who moved to Tottenham in 2021, has been a key Tottenham player since joining, has been recognized for his leadership, and has received the captain's armband. Soon after, he also signed an extension contract. Romero extended his contract with Tottenham until 2029 and signed a contract that included exceptional terms for receiving a weekly salary above Son Heung-min.

Initially, when Enze Postecoglou left this summer, there were many claims that Romero would leave the team and transfer. Rumors of a transfer have been steadily discussed since the transfer market last winter. He also spoke to Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone, who was strongly interested in a move. It has been reported that Real Madrid has also inquired about recruiting Romero.
However, Romero officially expressed his opinion on the transfer at the press conference and drew a clear line. Romero said "I never said I wanted to leave the club. I have no intention of doing so. The words of the director and chairman are important. I'm very happy here, I'm like a family."
Then "The director is good, and I like our way of working and training. It can always develop, but I think all members are moving in the right direction to develop. I am very happy here.'

Romero's thoughts may have come from his changed performance since Frank took office. Since sending Postecoglou out and appointing Frank, Tottenham has been cruising to 3-1 in four games, including the opening game this season. In particular, it was important that he also complied with his performance with eight goals and one run. Romero is also focused on his recent performance"There's a good coach and a good coach. We always want to improve. We'll be fine. I will do my best no matter who I face, and I will always try to improve my performance."
With the remarks, Romero is likely to continue his journey at Tottenham like Son Heung-min in the future. Will Romero, who has become more mature wearing the captain's armband, be able to lead Tottenham's performance in the UCL. Tottenham's first UCL game this season, the Villarreal match, will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 17th.
