Cristian Romero: Tottenham complete deal for Atalanta defender for about £47m

Tottenham have signed Argentina defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta for about £47m.

Romero, 23, moves to north London after he was voted the best defender in Serie A last season.

He then went on to help Argentina win the Copa America earlier this summer.

Romero becomes Spurs' third summer signing after winger Bryan Gil and goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and takes their outlay leading up to the new season to nearly £70m.

Gil joined from Sevilla in July while Gollini signed on loan, also from Atalanta.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said in June the club would have to be careful in the transfer market after sustaining losses of around £200m because of the coronavirus pandemic.
