Tottenham star returns to club after ‘excellent’ loan but Ange Postecoglou eyes clear out
Tottenham manager is looking to transform his squad ahead of what could be a pivotal season.
Brentford have confirmed left-back Sergio Reguilon is heading back to Tottenham after what has been an excellent loan spell at Brentford. The former Real Madrid left-back started the last game of the season against Newcastle before returning to north London in what will undoubtedly be a massive summer for both player and club
Destiny Udogie is Tottenham’s first choice left back and he’s backed by Ben Davies, so there really is no space for Reguilon who will be desperate to get a fresh start after being moved around firstly to Manchester United before landing at Brentford in the second half of the campaign.
Brentford sporting director Phil Giles admitted the 27-year-old is heading back to Tottenham as per the condition of the loan deal they agreed:
He said: “Sergio was the perfect almost excellent player at the perfect time for us. It was a loan that, at best, would suit both parties and that is exactly the way that it has turned out.
Sergio has enjoyed being with us and played a significant number of minutes which will set him up well for next season, wherever that may be.”
Tottenham are currently in Melbourne Australia where they have just been held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle with manager Postecoglou who was born in Greece admitting he’ll only return to the Island on holidays.
He told Football. London: “It’s definitely in my future that you’ll see me in Greece, but it’s more likely to be on an island somewhere on a sunbed. I’ve got a big challenge here at Spurs and I’m looking forward to bringing some success here. I was born in Greece, I very much feel Greek and I’ll definitely be there this summer like I am every summer but as far as coaching goes I’m happy where I am.”
Spurs finished fifth in the league and Postecoglou admitted that the foundation of the club was fragile and vowed to change them.
