Yes finally someone in the middle who is comfortable receiving the ball under pressure. Makes such a difference.
Sky pundit praises 'outstanding' Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur
Former Premier League defender, Stephen Warnock, has praised the 'outstanding' Rodrigo Bentancur and the impact he has had at Tottenham.
Stephen Warnock has praised the ‘outstanding’ Rodrigo Bentancur and the impact he has had at Tottenham, as he told the Football Show on Sky Sports.
The former Premier League left-back added, like Luka Modric, he plays the game at his own pace and he was the ‘best player’ on the pitch during Tottenham’s win against West Ham over the weekend.
Prior to the international break halting domestic football, Antonio Conte and his players boosted their chances of Champions League football by beating their London rivals 3-1.
Bentancur started the match for Conte’s side, and despite coming up against one of the top midfielders in the country in Declan Rice, he produced a brilliant performance for his team.
Even though the 24-year-old has been in England for only a few months, Warnock praised the player for already showcasing his worth.
“I was at the game and I thought he was the best player on the pitch (against West Ham),” said Warnock. “I thought he was outstanding.
“The reason I like him, it’s because he plays the game at his tempo. When it needs slowing down. I am not going to put him in the same bracket yet, but I look at Luka Modric. He will dictate the speed of play.
“When he wants to inject pace into the game, it’s not pace with his legs, in regards to running past people, it’s the pace with the passing.
“He was outstanding, with his passing, execution and vision – he is someone who, every time he gets on the ball he tries to make something happen – around about £17 million and I think that’s a snip.”
I will NOT be surprised if rumors about Real M. and PSG being interested in him (and Romero) starts to surface in the press already this summer 
Beautiful stuff. Can't believe how quick he is. Must be the only player in history that looks worse on highlight reels (at least the ones pre-Spurs were nothing special).
Also the way he ghosts pasts Dele a couple of times in that clip... reminded me how glad I am that I don't have to watch him at Spurs anymore.
Romero to Madrid/Barca is an absolute given. We may survive this summer but the rumour mill will be in full force by next year once media start to realise how good he is.I will NOT be surprised if rumors about Real M. and PSG being interested in him (and Romero) starts to surface in the press already this summer
Congratulations to the lad for going to the world cup.
Its the sports washing world cup, but as a player I assume that he is buzzing.

I was thinking the other day that sometimes they look suprised! Like it’s been so long since they’d received quality passes.
Like getting a kiss and cuddle from your wife after 2 years of getting moaned at and ignored.
