The English club Tottenham Hotspur has announced the appointment of Argentine defender Christian Romero as the new captain of the team, succeeding South Korean Son Heung-min, who left the club during the current summer transfer window.

Romero, who joined Tottenham in the summer of 2021 from Italian Atalanta, is considered one of the key defensive pillars of the team, and he possesses a leadership personality and extensive experience at both local and international levels.

Romero will officially wear the captain's armband for the first time this evening when Tottenham faces French team Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final, in a highly anticipated match where the London club seeks to achieve a continental title to add to its history.

It is noteworthy that Romero has attracted the interest of several clubs this summer, but the English club firmly rejected the idea of the player's departure.
