Man United urged to sign Tottenham's Romero amid Chelsea, Arsenal interest
Former Sunderland left‑back Micky Gray urged Manchester United to act quickly and sign Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero before Chelsea or Arsenal can secure the Argentine defender. Speaking on talkSPORT, Gray acknowledged Romero’s recent fallout with Spurs—including two red cards in the 2025‑26 Premier League season—but insisted the centre‑back’s quality is undeniable and that reuniting him with former teammate Lisandro Martínez would solidify United’s defence.
Romero has indicated he wants to leave Tottenham, with Spurs reportedly negotiating a swap with Inter Milan. Chelsea have already spent £52 million on Maxence Lacroix and may hold back on another centre‑back, while Arsenal have not yet approached the defender as they look to replace the injured William Saliba. United currently list five senior centre‑backs, but manager Michael Carrick may need extra depth for a Champions League campaign.
For Nigerian fans who follow the Premier League closely, a Romero move could shift the balance at the back, influencing match outcomes, fantasy‑league picks and betting odds. Keep an eye on official club announcements over the coming weeks to see which club lands the defender.
