The idea of Romero moving to Arsenal, however, has sparked a passionate rant from talkSPORT's Abbi Summers, who has never hidden her disapproval of the Spurs captain. Summers believes that Romero lacks respect for Spurs and would be open to a move to the Gunners, but she is adamant that such a transfer would never be sanctioned by the Tottenham hierarchy.
Summers points to the infamous Sol Campbell transfer in 2001, which still haunts Tottenham fans 25 years later. She claims that no fee would be enough to tempt Spurs into strengthening their rivals ahead of next season's title defence. "I don't really care what he goes for, I just want him away from the club but I do care that the location is not Arsenal," Summers said.
The talkSPORT host also believes that Romero's disciplinary record and headstrong attitude would make him a perfect fit for Chelsea, but even that move would not be acceptable to her. She concludes that Atletico or Barcelona would be the ideal destinations for the Argentine defender, given his temperament and unpredictability.
Summers' comments come as William Saliba is set for an extended spell on the sidelines due to a back injury, leaving Arsenal in need of a new centre-back. However, it seems that Romero's move to the Gunners is nothing more than a pipe dream, and he will likely join Atletico Madrid instead.
