Ex-Tottenham employee: Big-name star unhappy with one player signed by Ange

Bryan King has speculated that Cristian Romero might not have been the biggest fan of Dominic Solanke’s arrival at Tottenham.

The ex-Spurs scout has suggested that Romero, who looks to have suffered a big injury setback [Gastón Edul via X, 9 December], perhaps doesn’t think Solanke was worth the fee invested in him.

It comes after the defender, who himself has been blasted after some of his “terrible” performances this season, appeared to aim a dig at Daniel Levy about the club’s investment [Telemundo Deportes via talkSPORT, 9 December].

However, King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – thinks the 26-year-old should remain focused on his own affairs, although agrees that Spurs’ recent recruitment has been ordinary.

“To be fair, Tottenham brought in a £50million-plus striker in the summer,” King said.

“Therefore, it seems as though Romero is suggesting that Solanke isn’t the kind of player who he feels is going to help Tottenham challenge in the Premier League. If you buy a player who costs more than £50million, I know it was only one player, but surely that is a sign that the club are investing and moving in the right direction.

“However, I do believe that Spurs’ recruitment has been very ordinary, and I think that is what Romero is suggesting with these comments. There were some top players available during the summer who Tottenham could have signed and didn’t, the likes of Ivan Toney and Conor Gallagher.

“Therefore, I think this little dig from Romero is aimed at the club’s recruitment. However, having said that I think Romero ought to concentrate on staying fit first and foremost. He wants to try getting through a run of games because he isn’t doing that much at the moment.”

Cristian Romero unhappy with Dominic Solanke transfer at Tottenham?

There is nothing to suggest that Romero has any personal issues with Solanke. However, his comments about investment do seem slightly odd considering Spurs have spent a considerable amount of money since Ange Postecoglou arrived in North London.

The centre-back did reference that other teams in the Premier League have strengthened. Therefore, it would be fair to suggest that perhaps Romero doesn’t feel as though the players that the club have brought in, no matter what was spent on them, have actually helped to improve the team.

It is hard to argue with this considering that Spurs appear to have taken a step back this season, having already lost seven Premier League matches.

However, while fans are likely to praise Romero for these comments considering their opinions on Levy, what has been said is unlikely to go down well behind the scenes in North London.

In other Tottenham news, Richard Keys claims Postecoglou could be in trouble after what Levy did recently.
