Football.London have pointed out that Cristian Romero’s numbers this season are excellent, with the centre-back ranking near the top in several key metrics.
Romero will be disappointed with a couple of errors he has made in the three matches this season, particularly with his part in the lead-up to Newcastle’s first goal in Tottenham’s 2-1 loss at St James’ Park.
However, the numbers suggest that overall, the Spurs star has been one of the best defenders on show in the Premier League so far.
Last week, WhoScored gave Romero a rating of 7.37, which is the highest in the division, with William Saliba and Virgil van Dijk following in second and third place respectively.
The data analysis platform revealed that the Argentine ranks highly for successful tackles and for the number of aerial duals won.
Football.London have now stated that Romero has made 226 successful passes, which is the sixth most of any player in the Premier League this season.
The 26-year-old also comes in joint second for tackles won in the division, with nine successful tackles to his name, with only Leicester’s Abdul Fatawu and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson having more with 12.
Finally, the outlet reveals that the centre-back is also the joint second in the league for successful through balls, with only Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard having more than him.
Spurs Web Opinion
For Romero to rank near the top for metrics like through balls shows just how complete of a player he is, with the Argentine’s passing remaining a very underrated part of his game.
