Tottenham star Cristian Romero has admitted to his surprise at being named vice-captain.

The Argentine centre half is a fan favorite, but is not always known for his discipline.

Romero knows that he has a lot to learn about being a leader, but hopes that he can grow into the role.

Romero explained: “At the beginning, when I was told about it (the vice-captaincy), it was a surprise to me at the time.

“I'm very happy that the club, the coach, gave me this responsibility. It's very important to me. I take it with an incredible level of responsibility.

“I surely have a lot to learn and I have great examples of captains I've had throughout my short career. It was a beautiful moment for me, very emotional. I enjoy it every day."
