Conte's Romero plans
Antonio Conte has big plans for Tottenham defender Cristian Romero after the Argentinean's World Cup-winning displays in Qatar.
The 24-year-old was on the winning side in Sunday's World Cup final and put in an imperious display across the dramatic match which took twists and turns before being decided on penalties after 120 minutes of football as Argentina, Lionel Messi and Romero held aloft the trophy.
Following his triumph on the biggest stage, Conte looks set to have huge plans for Romero, who he has praised on numerous occasions, despite his injury problems this season.

Lloris replacement identified
While it was joy for Romero, it was despair for his Spurs team-mate and France captain Hugo Lloris who was unable to guide his country to a second consecutive World Cup win.
With Lloris approaching his 36th birthday, Spurs look set to identify potential replacements and the latest name to crop up will certainly be a surprise to many.
Dean Jones told GiveMeSport: “Yann Sommer is one that I’ve been told is on the radar [of Tottenham]. They’re just looking to see what he’s looking to do next. So, I think various things will crop up.”
Levy's to-do list
With the Premier League returning and Antonio Conte and the Tottenham Hotspur fans both having big expectations for the club, chairman Daniel Levy will have plenty on his new year's to-do list.
Spurs will restart the Premier League season at Brentford on Boxing Day sitting fourth in the table, three points off second-placed Manchester City, and Conte's men will also face AC Milan across two legs in the Champions League round of 16 after topping their group with that dramatic victory at Marseille.
With the January transfer window fast approaching and some important contracts also needing renewing it's set to be a busy time for chairman Daniel Levy and his managing director of football Fabio Paratici.
