Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says centre-back Cristian Romero is perfectly suited to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old has shone since arriving on an initial loan deal from Atalanta in the summer.
The Argentina international is likely to become a permanent Spurs player in the summer, with Conte stating the club hold an obligation to buy Romero when the season concludes.
Asked about Romero's quality, Conte said: "He is perfect for this league. But if you can play in this league you can play in all the leagues in the world.
"The problem is when you stay in another league, you have to ask if you can play in the Premier League. But when you play here, you can play in any league in the world.
"Because the intensity, the quality, the physicality that you have here is not present in other leagues. For sure Romero is able to play in this league. This league is a perfect suit for him.
"He's an important player for me. He's a new signing for me because he played the first game with me, only one game in the league.
"He's strong physically, he has the timing to anticipate, good personality to play with the ball. Despite being a young player he has good experience, he's strong. And I like him. For sure, he has a lot of space for improvement."
