Tottenham boss Antonio Conte confirms that Spurs will buy loanee Cristian Romero in summer

Antonio Conte has confirmed that Tottenham will buy loanee Cristian Romero at the end of the season as the Argentine is perfect for the Premier League.

The 23-year-old joined Spurs on a season-long loan spell with a £42.5million obligation to buy in the summer.

The defender is expected to sign a five-year deal in summer but Spurs boss Conte already considers him a permanent member of the squad.
