Cristian Romero

It's cliché but height doesn't really have much to say in heading prowess. Cannarvo was fantastic header of the ball, winning virtually everything against everyone and he was only 5ft9. Paul Parker was also short and basically never lost a heading duel. Even Romero is only 6ft, relatively short for a CB and he wins his lions share of heading fuels. Defensive heading ability is more about anticipation and reading the flight if the ball than it is to do with pure height.
Tim Cahill. 5f10. 22 headed goals. All about timing and being strong.
 
Like pace, ability in the air is something our players appear to lose as soon as they turn up in north London.
Dragu was a beast in the air at both ends of pitch, now he's 6'4 standing still and 5'10 when he jumps.
