Tottenham supporters believe they have uncovered a significant clue in Thomas Frank’s search for a new club captain, following the emergence of a video involving Cristian Romero.
Thomas Frank is yet to make a final decision on who will wear the armband for Tottenham ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, with the new head coach recently revealing that he has compiled a long list of leadership qualities he values in a captain.
Heung-min Son has led Tottenham Hotspur for the past two seasons and firmly etched his name into club folklore by lifting the Europa League trophy as captain last term, adding a crowning moment to his Spurs legacy.
While Son remains a contender, the uncertainty surrounding his future has created an open race for the captaincy – one that appears to be intensifying as pre-season unfolds.
Tottenham fans spot captaincy hint in Cristian Romero video
In recent pre-season encounters, both Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son have been seen wearing the armband, as Thomas Frank continues to assess his leadership options on the pitch.
In the clash against Wycombe Wanderers, when both Romero and Son were on the pitch, the 33-year-old Korean star was handed the armband.
Now, a new video clip circulating on social media has shown Thomas Frank deep in conversation with Cristian Romero, sparking intrigue among supporters who believe the footage offers insight into the manager’s thinking.
Many Tottenham fans are convinced that the Argentine defender is being groomed for the captaincy, interpreting the exchange between coach and player as a telling moment in the selection process.
One supporter wrote: “Tottenham fans think they have spotted clue to Thomas Frank’s new captain.” Another said: “Frank soooo choosing him as captain!!”
A third added: “Even if Son stays, which I do not think he will, Cuti is getting that armband.” Another fan commented: “Refreshing to see a Spurs account not try to spin this as a negative story. Captain and his coach talking for sure.” A final fan added: “Looks that way 🙏”
Heung-min Son uncertainty gives Cristian Romero the edge
Heung-min Son may be heading for the exit door at Tottenham, with speculation over the forward’s future continuing to gather momentum by the day.
Reports have linked Son with a move to Major League Soccer, where Los Angeles FC are reportedly pushing hard to secure his services this summer.
It is expected that Thomas Frank will hold talks with Son about his plans, but should the 33-year-old decide to call time on his Spurs career, then Cristian Romero would likely be first in line to take on the armband heading into the new campaign.
