Antonio Conte reveals Cristian Romero's Tottenham future after loan ends

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has left no doubt as to Cristian Romero's future at Spurs once his loan deal is over in the summer. The Argentina international signed for Spurs last summer, having just been named as Serie A defender of the year while on loan at Atalanta. There was a little confusion when Romero's signing was sealed by the north Londoners, with the club announcing it as a permanent transfer but Atalanta as a loan deal with an option to make the move permanent. Still six months on and the deal is described as a complicated one, but essentially a loan with an obligation to buy for £46.7m and when asked what comes next for Romero, Conte revealed that he will be a Spurs player next season.

"I think the club bought him. I think so," he said. "He's on loan but we have an obligation to buy. We bought him!"
