LONDON (REUTERS) – Tottenham Hotspur have signed left back Sergio Reguilon from Spanish champions Real Madrid on a five-year deal, the Premier League club said in a statement on Saturday (Sept 19).
Tottenham did not disclose the transfer fee but British media reported that they paid €30 million (S$48 million)for the 23-year-old Spain international.
Reguilon, who came through the youth set-up at Real, played 22 games in all competitions after his debut in 2018.
He spent last season on loan at Sevilla, playing 38 games in all competitions and helping them win the Europa League.
Reguilon, who made his Spain debut this month in a 4-0 win over Ukraine in the Nations League, was also linked with Manchester United but British media said the Old Trafford club refused to accept Real's insistence on a buy-back clause.
Reguilon's signing follows the arrivals of Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Ireland defender Matt Doherty and former England goalkeeper Joe Hart at the north London club.
