Roberto De Zerbi has been asked to ignore two obvious candidates to be the next Tottenham captain, and hand the armband to an unexpected player.With Tottenham putting Cristian Romero on the shop window, the Spurs head coach will soon have to decide on his new captain.The favourite for the role is, of course, Micky van de Ven, who wore the armband during Romero’s injury absence, with the Dutchman described as ‘untouchable’ at Spurs this summer by Fabrizio Romano.Some Tottenham fans think the captain’s armband will go to James Maddison, after he was the one chosen to welcome record signing Sandro Tonali to the club.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramRoberto De Zerbi asked to appoint Pedro Porro as next Tottenham captainFormer Tottenham scout Bryan King has urged De Zerbi to make Pedro Porro the new captain of the club ahead of both Van de Ven and Maddison.He suggested that the Spain international’s attitude and his performance at the biggest stage this summer make him an ideal candidate to take over the leadership role at N17.King told Football Insider: “Who’s going to captain the football club? I think [Micky] van de Ven would be a choice. I’m not sure about [James] Maddison. [Conor] Gallagher, you’ve got this new boy who’s come in from Brighton, the centre-half [Jan Paul van Hecke], all strong characters.“Certainly not [Dominic] Solanke, Richarlison or [Mathys] Tel. You know, the boy Porro, he’s one who always has pride in playing for the football club.“I’d look at him because he’s got great enthusiasm. I think he showed his leader qualities before at Tottenham. And certainly, his performances for Spain have been excellent.”Porro will lock horns with his current Spurs captain in World Cup finalA Tottenham player is guaranteed to win the World Cup for a third time in a row, as Argentina take on Spain in Sunday’s final.Porro has received huge praise for his outstanding performances in the knockout stages, and the right-back will be looking to guide his nation to the title for just the second time in their history.Standing in his way is his club captain and one of his best friends from Spurs, Romero, who is looking to take the trophy back to Argentina for the second time in a row.READ MORE: Tottenham and Crystal Palace in six-horse race for £10m star with 20 G/A last seasonThe post Roberto De Zerbi told to ignore the two obvious choices for next Tottenham captain appeared first on Spurs Web.
