Tottenham Transfer Update: Reguilon Joins Brentford, Tanganga to Millwall on Loan

VIVA – Tottenham Hotspurs have arguably been the most active club in the January transfer window so far, with Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin arriving and several players shown the exit door, although not all of them permanently.

And two more remain on loan, with Brentford securing left-back Sergio Reguilon in a deal until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at Manchester United but that deal was terminated by the Old Trafford club this month.

He joined Tottenham from Real Madrid in 2020 and spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid.

“This is a very good signing for us. Sergio is very suitable for us,” said Brentford manager Thomas Frank, quoted from TEAMtalk, Friday, January 19 2024.

“We’ve been talking for a while about how we need a good left-back, and we managed to get a very good left-back,” he added.

Thomas said that currently Sergio is really needed in his team. And Sergio is considered to have experience that can complement his squad.

“He fits what we want. He is very offensive, has a very good cross and a very good left foot. “He has the experience we need to complement the rest of the squad and he is a good character,” said Thomas.

“We need him, but I also think he needs us to show how good a footballer he is. “I am confident that this will be a positive partnership,” he added.

Sergio Reguilon, who made 12 appearances for United, could make his debut in Saturday’s Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest – a game that would also see striker Ivan Toney return for the Bees.

Reguilon said this is the right decision needed at this time. He admitted that he needed the club at this time.

“I’m very happy, I think this is what I need now at this point in my career. Thomas was key in this step, for me. I’m at a time where I need to play consistently and I think this club can give me that. “These six months, I will do everything for the team, but it is also important for my future,” said Sergio.

“The team must refocus on the Premier League, Ivan [Toney] come back and I think we can do a lot of things together,” added Sergio.

Tanganga to Millwall

Tottenham manager, Jose Mourinho, and young Tottenham player, Japhet Tanganga.

Meanwhile, another Spurs defender, Japhet Tanganga is heading to the Championship for another loan stint at Millwall.

The 24-year-old is set to return from a disastrous loan spell at Augsburg after failing to make a single appearance for the German club.

The versatile defender, who can play in the back four, is now set to link-up with the injury-hit Lions and could train with his new club soon.

Tanganga will be out of contract at Tottenham in the summer, although the club has the option to extend his contract by a year.

Young midfielder Alfie Devine, meanwhile, has also secured a loan exit after joining Plymouth for the remainder of the campaign.
