What happened. Cristian Romero, former Tottenham captain, has seemingly ruled out Arsenal's chances of signing Julian Alvarez by praising the striker's commitment at Atletico Madrid.

Alvarez had wanted to leave for Barcelona, but their bid was rejected.
Atletico filed a FIFA complaint against Barca for tapping up.
Romero described Alvarez as 'very involved' and eager to score.

“I see him doing very well. I see him as always, a guy eager to keep scoring goals, eager to entertain people…”
— Cristian Romero

Arsenal may need to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements if Alvarez stays at Atletico.
