Under-fire Tottenham Hotspur skipper Cristian Romero found himself at the centre of controversy after transfer deadline day.

Spurs fans have also vented their frustrations at the club’s ownership after what was another underwhelming transfer window, failing to back beleaguered boss Thomas Frank. The squad has been ravaged by injuries, forcing Thomas Frank to patch up starting XIs in recent games.

Following the current condition of the squad, coupled with the board’s failure to back the Danish tactician, Cristian Romero went public by releasing a statement on his social media account, criticising ENIC. The Argentine said it was “disgraceful” that Thomas Frank’s side only had 11 senior players available for last weekend’s thrilling 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

A day later, reports emerged that the centre-back is keen to leave the north London club at the end of the season. Cristian Romero’s outburst on social media not only screams the club’s failure to match his high ambition, but also the mood of the dressing room. And a top-class defender finding himself in such an uncertain situation at his club hasn’t gone unnoticed across Europe.
