Tottenham’s most underrated player revealed by James Maddison

James Maddison has named a player who is sometimes seen as an ill-disciplined hot-head as the most underrated Tottenham Hotspur player.

Some silver linings in Spurs’ inconsistent season

Despite a poor campaign so far this season, there have been a few silver linings for Tottenham Hotspur. The rise of Dejan Kulusevski in a much deeper midfield role has been one of the highlights of this season.

Djed Spence’s resurgence after being frozen out during huge parts of his time at Spurs is another silver lining from this season. The development of youngsters like Moore, Gray and Bergvall counts as another positive.

However, despite the performances of a few of these players, Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has given his thoughts on whom the most underrated player is at Hotspur Way.

James Maddison names Cristian Romero Spurs most underrated player

Speaking on JD Sports, James Maddison was asked to name one of the most underrated players at Tottenham Hotspur.

According to the midfielder, the most underrated player in Spurs at the moment is Cristian Romero a player often viewed as an ill-disciplined hot-head.

He said: “Underrated? Cristian Romero. Top, top centre-back. For some reason in England, I feel like he has the perception of being a hot-head who gets a lot of red cards and isn’t disciplined, but it’s the opposite, he’s a World Cup winner and he’s a top player.”

Tottenham Hotspur’s record without Cristian Romero

Romero who was signed for £42m has been a vital cog for Tottenham Hotspur and this season, his absence has been greatly felt as the club’s defence and performances have dwindled.

The defender has missed twenty-five games this campaign because of injuries. Since the Chelsea game where he hurt his hamstring, Spurs have conceded 28 goals and have lost seven times in the sixteen matches he has missed.

These stats highlight his importance to Spurs – the hope is that he can return to full fitness soon and help the team during the rest of the campaign.
