Tottenham have named their new captain as Cristian Romero, after the departure of club legend Son Heung-min.
Son has been the captain for Spurs for the last two seasons and helped the club to lift the Europa League in May as Spurs ended their 17-year wait for a trophy, later joining LAFC earlier this month.
Romero has been vice-captain for the previous two years and started the Europa League final win over Manchester United as skipper before Son came off the bench in the second half.

“I had a good conversation with Cuti Romero, and he’s going to be our captain,” new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank told the official club website.
“He was very honored and very happy about it. It’s a big thing and should be to lead this wonderful club out on the pitch, not just for this Super Cup, but also throughout the season.
“I think he has all the right qualities. He leads from his behavior on the pitch, driving the team forward in every way, and outside the pitch, he’s always pushing the team.”
Romero, who joined Spurs from Atalanta four years ago, was part of the Argentina side that won the 2022 World Cup.
In conclusion, the 27-year-old Argentine will lead his side out when Tottenham takes on European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
