He said, "Cuti Romero is among the best centre-backs in the world, if he's not the best already. We don't know what his ceiling is.
"He has demonstrated it throughout the entire season at Tottenham. He has been a cornerstone player for the team, incredibly important, and the Tottenham coach has repeatedly praised him in big matches.
"I believe he is at an incredible level, a player with impressive abilities who continues to grow and improve. The level he is reaching is impressive."
