The Dane said: “For me, I think he is a leader. He is a young leader and he’s learning every day.

“That’s not to say he shouldn’t learn from it, of course he needs learn from it, going forward.”
Romero has played 152 times for Spurs, scoring 13 goals. He lifted his first trophy with the club after their triumph over United last summer.
