Tottenham Hotspur are looking to put their first three points on the board following their opening day draw against Leicester City.
Ange Postecoglou was clearly a frustrated figure on Monday night as his Tottenham side squandered so many chances to beat the Foxes.
However, Spurs need to put their disappointment to one side with a game against Everton coming up on Saturday afternoon.
And it is going to be the perfect opportunity for Tottenham to get their season up and running properly as they come up against an Everton side that were heavily beaten in their opening game.
It may only have been one game but Spurs are already suffering from a major injury issue but it seems as if the Spurs manager has been impressed with what he has seen from one specific player in training.
Ange Postecoglou wowed by ‘outstanding’ Tottenham player in training
There has been some positive news for Postecoglou with Tottenham seeing Pedro Porro return to training following his injury scare on Monday night.
However, Dominic Solanke is not going to be available for the game against Everton and could even face missing further games with an ankle injury.
But there is one other player who Spurs will have at their disposal and he has left Postecoglou seriously impressed.
Postecoglou has now been in the job for over a year now and it is apparent that there has become a core group of players who he heavily depends on.
One of those is Cristian Romero and the Australian has now admitted just how impressed he has been by the World Cup winner.
“Outstanding. Obviously with all these kind of things you have the image of a player from afar and before I got here I thought he was going to be really important to me because he’s such a fantastic centre-back for club and country,” he told football.london on Friday.
“But being here, watching him, the way he trains and the way he plays, unbelievably strong mindset. An absolute winner in every thing he does. He was really important last year and he’s going to be really important moving forward.
“He is one of the players within this group who has achieved things from a team perspective and those kind of things are transferable. He has won the World Cup, he has won the Copa America, so he’s part of a successful team and I think he’s a really strong influence in the group.”
Tottenham are at risk of losing Cristian Romero next summer
Romero still has three years remaining on his deal in north London but there has been reports of interest coming from some of Europe’s elite.
Real Madrid are believed to be showing an interest in Romero but face a big asking price from Spurs if they are to make a serious move.
After all, this is a player who has now won the World Cup and two Copa Americas with his national side in recent years.
However, he is still yet to win anything at club level since joining Spurs and that is surely something he is wanting to change.
If Spurs are unable to provide him with silverware this season, the upcoming summer window could provide a big concern for Tottenham when it comes keeping their Argentine centre-back.
