Romero to Arsenal? Transfer rumours link Spurs captain with shock move

Could Cristian Romero be the next Sol Campbell? That is the tantalising question raised by The Guardian's latest transfer round-up, which reports that Tottenham's captain has caught the eye of Arsenal.

According to The Guardian, the Athletic has suggested Arsenal hold an interest in the Argentine defender, although it is considered highly unlikely that Spurs would sanction such a dramatic move. Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan are also said to be monitoring the situation.

The same rumour mill also turns to Rodri, with Barcelona and Real Madrid reportedly battling for the Manchester City midfielder. The Guardian notes that Rodri has allegedly spoken to the Barça hierarchy as he continues his habit of winning everything in sight.

And as for Aberdeen? The column apparently throws the Scottish club into the mix for reasons unknown, leaving readers to ponder what that has to do with anything. As ever, these are merely rumours at this stage.
