Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister claims Tottenham Hotspur ace Cristian Romero is the best centre-back in the world

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has always been regarded as one of the best players in the world in his position. It is not a coincidence that the Lilywhites play better when the Argentina international is on the pitch. The 27-year-old has quickly become a mainstay at N17 under various managers, and it is fair to say that the centre-back is a ‘born winner.’

The Spurs defender endured a ‘stop-start’ campaign this season under Ange Postecoglou. After enduring a long-term injury midway through the season earlier this year, the ex-Atalanta star was forced to sit out for crucial games as the Lilywhites struggled to carve out positive results. However, Romero recovered just in time for the last stretch of the season and helped Ange’s men create history.

The prolific centre-back managed to start in the latter stages of the campaign and helped Tottenham win the Europa League last month. Winning the competition also meant that the North London club ended its 17-year wait for a trophy against all odds. One thing is for certain… Cristian Romero has etched his name in Tottenham’s history books for all the right reasons.

Tottenham star Cristian Romero is receiving praises for his consistent performances

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero is facing an uncertain future at N17 after helping the club win the Europa league last month. The Argentina international is linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, and many fans think that the prolific centre-back will make the switch to Spain in the coming weeks. However, it goes without saying that Romero will be remembered fondly by the fans for years to come.

Now, Romero’s Argentina teammate Alexis Mac Allister has spoken highly of the centre-back while on international duty. While speaking to TNT Sports, Mac Allister said,

“Oh, Cuti [Romero]. He’s a player I love. The way he speaks and plays, sometimes you feel like he’s too much because he makes everything so easy. He gives me confidence. For me, he’s been the best centre-back in the world for several years.”

Alexis Mac Allister is in sync with the Tottenham fans by suggesting that Cristian Romero is the player he likes a lot. The Liverpool midfielder suggests that Romero never makes mistakes and is a leader on the pitch. Mac Allister also adds that the Spurs centre-back is the best defender in the world for quite some time now.

Given that the Argentine midfielder shares the Liverpool dressing room with the imperious Virgil van Dijk, thats quite the statement. But that just shows how Romero has matured and grown as a player during his time in the Premier League. With the Lilywhites aiming to close the gap on their rivals next season, fans will hope that the Argentina international does not leave the club for pastures new in the coming weeks.
