Chris Waddle says Spurs star does not want to be at the club anymore

Chris Waddle is not a fan of Cristian Romero’s body language, and he believes that the Argentine’s mannerisms say something about his future at Spurs.

Cristian Romero has been a big miss for Spurs

Ange Postecoglou‘s men have been without several key players for large parts of the season and can argue that Romero has been as big a miss as any.

The Argentine is not just an elite defender when he is firing but is also crucial to helping Spurs play out from the back with his line-breaking passes, while also being one of the leaders of this young Tottenham side.

Thankfully for the Lilywhites, Romero is now back in training and is reportedly not far away from returning to action.

Chris Waddle on Romero’s body language

It remains to be seen if Romero will be at Tottenham for too long as he is now into the final 18 months of his contract.

Reports have indicated over recent months that Spurs have reached out to Romero’s camp about a new deal, but the defender is hesitant to sign on the dotted line as he is not keen to play Champions League football.

Waddle believes that the Argentina international’s body language suggests that he does not want to be at N17.

The former Spurs midfielder told aceodds: “Romero is a good, old-fashioned centre-half who’s not afraid to leave his foot in. He’ll hit you if he has to hit you. He’s not afraid of a yellow card or a red.

“His body language after last season suggests he doesn’t really want to be at the club anymore. I think he believes he should be at Real Madrid or Barcelona. If he wants to go, it’s better for Tottenham to cash in and buy someone who wants to play for the club.”

What do Spurs have to do to keep Romero?

If the season continues in the same vein and Tottenham end it outside the European places, it would be very difficult for them to convince Romero to stay.

The only way the club can persuade the Argentine and the likes of Dejan Kulusevski to stick around is by showing tangible signs of progress, which means winning a trophy this season.
