“I thought he was going to Ipswich and there was even Sunderland, but he wanted to stay down south. He became available and it was a great deal for us.
“It would be tough (to sign Romeo permanently), but we’d love to have him. It’s been a good loan for both of us,” he added.
The 26-year-old is a former Arsenal and Gillingham youth.
