He has urged them to make a move for the 28-year-old Tottenham defender. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can get the deal done.<\/p>\n

Romero would be a superb signing<\/h2>\n

They have conceded 50 goals in the Premier League this season, and they need to improve defensively. Signing Romero could be a wise decision. He is certainly one of the best defenders in the Premier League, and he could make a big difference at Chelsea. He will help them improve at the back and compete for trophies next season.<\/p>\n

He is fighting the relegation battle with Tottenham this season, and he certainly deserves to compete at a higher level. Chelsea could provide him with the opportunity he needs.<\/p>\n

He has won the World Cup and the Copa Am\u00e9rica with his country, and he will look to win major club trophies. Tottenham might not be able to help him fulfil his ambitions, and it remains to be seen whether he is prepared to join a rival club.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the defender will not be a cheap acquisition. He is likely to cost a premium. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can convince Tottenham to sell the player.<\/p>\n
