Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have agreed terms for the transfer of Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero. The deal is reported to be worth £34 million.

Read the full story at bbc.co.ukThis is a significant defensive transfer that impacts both clubs' seasons. Romero's departure weakens Tottenham's centre-back depth considerably, as he was their most experienced and highest-profile defender. For Atletico, acquiring a proven Premier League centre-back strengthens their defensive options and provides leadership. The £34m fee represents reasonable value for a player of his calibre.
