😱 Cristian Romero Admits Fear Ahead of Wolves Clash – And It’s Not Larsen or Bellegarde

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has made a surprising admission ahead of today’s Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

While many expected the Argentine centre-back to highlight the danger of Jørgen Strand Larsen or French midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Romero instead revealed that it’s towering striker Tolu Arokodare who worries him most.

“Facing him today is not going to be an easy task for me. I’m really scared of him,” Romero confessed. “Arokodare has the height, the strength, and that instinct in the box which makes him so dangerous. You can’t switch off against him.”

Arokodare, the Nigerian forward known for his physical presence and aerial ability, has quickly become a key figure for Wolves under new manager Vítor Pereira. His ability to hold up play and bully defenders has added a new dimension to Wolves’ attacking threat.

Romero, who has built a reputation as one of the league’s toughest defenders, admitted that Arokodare poses a unique challenge.

“With players like Larsen or Bellegarde, you know the type of game they want to play. But Arokodare is different – he combines power with movement, and that makes him unpredictable. I’ll have to be at my best to stop him.”

As Tottenham prepare for a crucial test at Molineux, Romero’s comments underline the growing respect Arokodare is earning in the Premier League. All eyes will be on whether the Wolves striker can justify the Spurs defender’s fears and make a decisive impact today.
