Tottenham Hotspur has secured long-term futures for key players Cristian "Cuti" Romero and Djed Spence, reinforcing the club's project under head coach Thomas Frank. Romero, who was named captain recently and has been integral to the team, signed a new contract extending his stay until June 2029. The deal, which includes a three-year term plus an optional additional year, was finalized after Romero decided to remain at Tottenham despite reported interest from Atlético Madrid. Spence also committed to a new long-term contract with the club. Frank emphasized that Tottenham will not retain players unwilling to join or represent the club, highlighting a clear stance on squad commitment. Additionally, Frank confirmed that Richarlison remains the club's starting striker, with no current plans for his departure, noting the player's desire to stay and his recent goal-scoring form.
