Alongside the video, a heart-warming photo was released showing David with his hand protectively on the shoulder of Romeo as he signed his new contract.
Romeo himself says he’s excited to play in England and join a group of players he says he already has a strong connection with.
“If you look at Brentford as a club, it’s very positive and it’s a club that is on the rise very quickly. I’m very grateful to be here.” he said in a statement.
“They are all very talented players, and they drive me to be even better in myself. A few of them give me some kicks and I give them back, but we all come into work hard to get better in ourselves and the coaches drive that.”
Romeo’s Inter Miami CF II team finished sixth in the MLS Next Pro league last season, thanks in part to his league-high 10 goal-assists and two goals. One of those goals bore a remarkable similarity to the ones his father turned into a signature move over the course of his 21-year professional career.
Romeo has only recently returned to focussing on football - he was part of Arsenal’s junior academy as a young teenager - after spending five years playing tennis.
It has been reported that a US$40,000 (NZ$62,994) tennis court was built at a property owned by his parents to aide his tennis dream, before it was summarily demolished and replaced by a football pitch when Romeo decided to return to playing football in 2020.
Brentford B’s next match is scheduled to take place February 3 against Ulsan FC in the Atlantic Cup.
