Romero was central to Tottenham's triumph in the Europa League in Bilbao, receiving a man of the match performance after helping Spurs keep a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Man United. The Argentina international was also named as the Europa League's player of the season following the conclusion of the campaign. However, following his heroics in the Basque country, Romero missed the final match of the Premier League season on Sunday, as Tottenham suffered a 4-1 home defeat by Brighton. The result confirmed Tottenham remarkably finished 17th in the Premier League table, while securing Champions League qualification through their Europa League triumph. When asked last month about his future, amid reported interest from Atletico Madrid, Romero declared that his focus is 'always on growing and looking for new places to continue developing.
