Thomas Frank has named Cristian Romero as Tottenham Hotspur 's new captain following the departure of Son Heung-Min to LAFC this summer.

Son had worn the armband for the last two seasons and lifted the Europa League in May as Spurs ended their 17-year wait for silverware.

However, Son's departure to MLS earlier this month meant new head coach Frank was on the lookout for a new leader.

Romero, a World Cup and two-time Copa América winning centre-back, was vice-captain -- along with James Maddison -- during Ange Postecoglou's two-year reign in north London.

Romero is only Tottenham's third captain of the last decade after Hugo Lloris held the role for eight years between 2015 and 2023.
