Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have demonstrated their immense quality as a centre-back partnership at Tottenham.
Ange Postecoglou was hardly able to start Romero and van de Ven alongside each other this season as both players struggled to remain fit.
Spurs supporters will be hoping to see a lot more of the centre-back duo under Thomas Frank.
However, there is no guarantee Romero will still be in North London next season.

Tottenham sacked Postecoglou after the Australian oversaw the Lilywhites’ worst-ever Premier League campaign.

Messages from Spurs players began to stream through once his departure was announced. However, Romero was not quick to post.
It is thought that Romero was particularly close to Postecoglou, and his silence on the matter was taken to mean he could also be set to leave Tottenham, with the 27-year-old widely linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.
Romero finally broke his silence on Postecoglou’s departure in an emotional post via Instagram on Thursday (12 June).
The World Cup winner wrote, “Ange, thank you for these two incredible seasons. You’re a fantastic coach, but above all, a great person who deserves the best.
“From day one, you paved the way despite the many obstacles that always existed and always will exist. Beyond everything, we won a trophy and went down in the history of this beautiful club, which is the only thing that matters. I wish you the best because you deserve the best, and thank you for everything.”
His partner-in-crime, van de Ven, supported the defender by liking his post on Instagram.
Romero could still leave Tottenham
The Argentine’s post on Instagram has done little to curb worries of his departure this summer. If anything, he has intensified them.
Romero’s post came minutes after Tottenham officially announced Frank as their new head coach. This could signal that the centre-back does not see himself playing under the Dane next season.
