One of Tottenham Hotspur’s key players proved against Wolverhampton Wanderers exactly why the North London club are ready to listen to offers for him.
Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 4-2 by Wolves as they suffered a shocking 17th defeat of the season in just the Premier League alone.
The Lilywhites look set for a big summer of change with Ange Postecoglou’s future in question and several players up for sale.
But one of their top players could be set to leave and the North London club’s decision to listen to offers looks to be justified after his display against Wolves.
Cristian Romero’s disastrous performance vs Wolves
It was an afternoon to forget for Cristian Romero as he and his teammates were torn apart by Wolves in a heavy defeat in the Midlands.

The Argentine lost possession on 11 occasions with one of those errors leading to the hosts being gifted a goal by the Tottenham defender.
Romero, who Tottenham signed for £42m, was also caught out of position on several occasions which left Spurs’ backline in disarray throughout the clash at Molineux.
Tottenham fans were also fuming at Guglielmo Vicario’s performance as the Italian international made two shocking errors.
Cristian Romero proves why Daniel Levy is ready to sell him
Daniel Levy is ready to sell Romero for around £45 million and his display against Wolves certainly justifies the decision to move on from him.
Tottenham were ready to make Romero their highest-earner, however, talks over a new contract look to have been put on hold.
Atletico Madrid are keen on Romero and the defender appears to be open to a move to the Spanish capital in the summer.
Spurs’ central defender has been a good servant to the North London club, but should a decent-sized offer arrive, a parting of ways feels like the best resolution for both parties.
