Sergio Reguilon was absent from Tottenham Hotspur. Reguilon, who moved to Manchester United on loan in the first half of this season, will return to action in January. However, Enze Postecoglou had no intention of hiring him, and he has to leave for Brentford again.
Brentford officially announced on the club's website on the 18th, "Legilon has been loaned to Brentford from Tottenham until the end of the season. The left-back has gained a wealth of experience through Real Madrid, Sevilla, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, and played 12 games on loan for Manchester United in the first half of this season."
Brentford manager Thomas Frank expressed great satisfaction. "It is a very good recruitment for us. We have been saying for a long time that we need a good left-back, and now we can recruit him. Legilon is a proven Premier League player, and he is the right player for us. He is very aggressive, and he has excellent crosses and left feet, which is the style we want."
"I'm very happy. I think this is the moment that I need in my career. I want to meet my teammates and play with them, and now I want to enjoy soccer on the field," Legilon said in his speech. It was regret that he had not played many matches so far, and expectations for the future.
He continued, "Coach Frank played a key role in deciding this transfer. I think it's time to play consistently now, and I think this club can give me that opportunity. I will do everything for this team for six months, but it is also important for my future." His conversation with Frank was the main driver of Regilon's transfer.
Also, he said, "I was happy after having a conversation with Frank. He knows me well. We had a lot of conversations about everything. At first, I remember talking about soccer and everything for over 40 minutes. That's very important to me because the coach knows me well and I think we can do good things together."
Lastly, "The team needs to refocus on the Premier League, and Ivan Toney (Brentford striker) is back, and I think we can do a lot of things together. There is something special about the G-Tech Community Stadium. It is a beautiful stadium, a cute stadium, and you can feel the crowd together. For me, it is a very special place in the Premier League."
Spanish left-back Reguilon grew up at Real Youth. However, it was not easy to secure a place in the first team due to his outstanding competitors. He played 14 La Liga games in the 2018-19 season, but that was it, and left for Sevilla on loan ahead of the 2019-20 season.
He exuded his value in Sevilla. He showed good performance in 31 La Liga matches, scoring two goals and helping four. In addition, he played five tournament matches in the Europa League, bolstering his team's win. It was his second trophy after winning the Club World Cup when he was playing for Real. Then, he joined Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of 30 million euros during the 2020 summer transfer window.
Contrary to expectations, he failed to stand out significantly. In his first season, he had four assists in 27 Premier League games. Tottenham fans expressed great satisfaction with this. However, it suddenly began to creak. During the 2021-22 season, Antonio Conte's appointment sparked a wind of change, and Ryan Sessegnon was appointed in the second half. Moreover, Reguilon left the club due to an injury at the end of the season.
It was just the beginning. Veteran Ivan Perisic joined the team ahead of the 2022-23 season. Reguilon has escaped the managerial plan and is finally moving to Atletico on loan. Reguilon also failed to rebound at Atletico. Reguilon underwent Tommy John surgery a week before the loan transfer and could not play until the end of October. Since then, he has played in only 12 official matches (317 minutes) during the loan period as he has a hamstring injury.
This season, he signed a loan agreement with Manchester United. According to the British newspaper The Athletic, there was no loan fee or complete transfer clause, and it was a condition that Manchester United paid the full amount of Regilon's salary. Regilon said, "We have to prepare for everything in life. It was an irresistible opportunity to represent this great club with a great history. I spoke with manager Erik ten Haq and I know what he wants from me. I am ready to play my part in the success of this team. I know I can contribute to Manchester United this season and I am ready to show my qualities as I fight for this team."
It was the same thing. After moving to Manchester United, he had a chance due to injured players in the same position, and after that, he was forced to return to the bench. Based on the Premier League, the duration of his last four games was only 7 minutes. In the end, he decided to terminate his loan agreement early. Soon, Manchester United can operate both Shaw and Malacia at the same time. That's why "rental" Regilon is no longer needed. Regilon also agreed to cancel his contract due to reduced playing time.
Tottenham Hotspur officially announced on its website on the 4th, "Legilon has returned from Manchester United. He joined Manchester United on loan at the beginning of the season and made 12 appearances." Manchester United also said, "Legilon will return to his original team, Tottenham, following the invocation of the clause on early termination of the loan. He joined on loan and made a positive contribution in the first half of the season. Luke Shaw and Tyral Malacia faithfully played a role in filling the gap between the two players while they were sidelined due to long-term injuries."
"It was great to play for Manchester United and I want to thank my club, fans, and teammates. It was an honor to play for this huge club. I wish Manchester United all the best," Regilon wrote on his personal social media.
I thought he would come back to Tottenham like that, but he didn't. "Tottenham plans to sell Reguilon or send the loan back this month," said British media outlet The Times as well as European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano. Media outlets explained that Bournemouth, Seville and Villarreal are showing interest.
Tottenham currently has a built-in mainstay called Destiny Udoji, and options such as Ben Davies and Sessegnon also exist. With no European competition schedule, there is no need to have many players in one position.
"Core" Udoji recently signed a long-term renewal of his contract. Tottenham officially announced on its website on the 13th of last month that "Udoji has signed a new contract that runs through the summer of 2030." In this regard, Romano said, "Udoji has extended his basic contract until June 2029, and a one-year extension option is included."
Udoji is a side defender who can play both fullback and wingback. In the 2021-22 season, Udoji was caught on the radar of a big club as he showed off his aggressive talent with five goals and three assists in 35 Italian Serie A matches for Udinese. Instead of paying a low fee of £15 million (W25 billion), Tottenham sent Udinese on a season-long loan.
Udoji has joined Tottenham since this summer and has accumulated one goal and two assists while playing 17 Premier League games. It was a perfect resource for manager Enze Postecoglou's "offensive football," and he first opened the scoring against Newcastle United. The existing contract was until June 2027, and this renewal has extended it for another three years. If the option is activated, it will be until 2030, and he will be responsible for Tottenham's side for the next seven years.
Udoji said, "I'm so happy. It's a great pleasure for me to come to this club and I'm glad to have this opportunity. From the first day I came here, the players, coaches, and the whole club welcomed me, so I felt comfortable like home. Everyone in the club respects me, the players, and everyone."
He continued, "The Premier League is very tough, physical, and intense. The staff is doing a big job every day, and it's showing up on the field. It's the most difficult league to prepare for, mentally and physically, but it's been a great experience. I'm learning new things every day, and I'm working with great players."
Reguilon's final destination was Brentford. Brentford had a gap in the left defense, and they reviewed Reguilon, which just came up for sale. Reguilon also preferred to stay on the same stage, and accepted Brentford's offer.
It does not include a complete transfer clause. The deal is a simple loan agreement, and he will return to Tottenham at the end of the 2023-24 season.
As a result, it is impossible to see the bromance between Regilon and Son Heung-min. Regilon is a famous "handflower." They are close friends, and whenever Son scored on the field, they participated in most of the ceremonies. Just looking at Son Heung-min makes me feel like honey.
First, a photo was released in the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 against Wolfsburg in the 2020-21 season, which made Tottenham fans' hearts pound, with Reguilon touching Son's head. Son was talking to Ali while Reguilon was passing his hair behind him. At a scene like this, Tottenham fans couldn't help but smile. Fans gave thumbs up to the left-hander's affectionate behavior, saying, "I love this combination," "So lovely," "Give Son Heung-min his veil head," "Let's be together forever," and "We are impressive friends." 토토사이트
Reguilon went on to post a photo together in the locker room with the words, "Brother, I love you a lot! Congratulations (Hattrick)!" as Son Heung-min scored a hat-trick against Aston Villa in the 2021-22 season.
When asked, "Did you have any EPL idols when you were young?" in an interview with Brian Hill, Reguilon replied, "Yes. I was a big fan of Son Heung-min." Surprised Hill asked, "Really? Sonny?" to which Reguilon smiled, saying, "Yes. I loved Son Heung-min."
During the pre-season, he posted a photo of himself putting his arms around his shoulders, saying, "I missed you. Son Ronaldo." Both of them were smiling. Son also shared the message.
