Romero was one of the best defenders around Europe last season and he was chosen as the best in his position in the Italian league.
The 23-year-old helped his country win Copa America as well and he has a massive future ahead of him.
Tottenham fans will be delighted with his acquisition and they will be looking forward to their new signing.
The Premier League side needed to sort out their defensive vulnerabilities this summer especially after the departure of Toby Alderweireld and Romero could prove to be a quality long term replacement for the Belgian.
The likes of Davinson Sanchez have been linked with a move away from Tottenham and it remains to be seen whether the Londoners can bring in another centre back before the transfer window shuts.
They have been linked with a move for the Japanese international Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Romero has the potential to develop into a world-class defender in future and Spurs will be hoping that the new signing can adapt to the Premier League quickly and make an immediate impact next season.
