Sacking Thomas Frank has had little effect on Spurs' recent results, with new boss Igor Tudor having yet to muster a Premier League win since taking over.

The Croatian did win for the first time in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, edging out Atletico Madrid 3-2, with their hopes now renewed regarding Premier League survival, but Romero's future remains a little less uncertain.

“The truth is, I’m focused on the situation we’re in. I have a lot of respect and affection for the club, and I want to finish the season in the best way possible,” he said when asked about his future in North London.

“We’ll see later, but the most important thing now is to recharge,” Romero explained.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone, who tried to recruit Romero in the summer, admitted his ongoing admiration for the defender, perhaps leaving the door open for the Spanish side to reignite their interest.

“As an Argentine fan, I admire his personality, his playing style, and his defensive work. As an Argentine fan who has seen more of his matches than Tottenham’s, I am a great admirer of his,” said Simeone.

Spurs' exit from the Champions League now rules them out of European football for next season, something which may prompt several salary cuts at the club.

Romero would be expected to leave for a substantial fee and it remains to be seen whether he does seek pastures new when the summer window opens.
