Sergio Reguilon was named on the bench for Tottenham Hotspur’s League Cup match against Coventry City on Wednesday night, marking a notable inclusion after summer-long speculation about his future.
Despite being informed by the club that he was not part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the future, Reguilon remained at Spurs due to the club’s inability to secure a move for him, despite interest from several clubs, including Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
Reguilon was officially included in Tottenham’s 25-man Premier League squad last week, and his presence on the bench against Coventry suggests that Postecoglou may have reconsidered his stance on the player.
However, according to a report from GiveMeSport, Reguilon still faces an uncertain future at the club and is unlikely to remain at Spurs beyond this season.
The report further indicates that, despite his bench appearance, Reguilon still has significant hurdles to overcome before becoming a regular part of the first-team setup.
Reguilon joined Spurs in 2020 from Real Madrid and initially showed promise. However, he has struggled to secure a consistent starting role due to managerial changes and inconsistent form. Over the past two seasons, he has spent much of his time on loan, with stints at Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, and Brentford.
Reguilon joined Spurs in 2020 from Real Madrid for a €30 million fee and initially showed promise. However, he has since struggled to cement a regular starting position due to managerial changes and inconsistent form.
It’s possible that Tottenham will attempt to sell Reguilon again in the upcoming winter transfer window, aiming to recoup some value rather than letting him leave on a free transfer next summer.
