As Tottenham gear up for their next Premier League duel against Bournemouth, manager Ange Postecolgou has given a big update on their £53,000/week left-back.
While the Spaniard is yet to feature for his current club this season, it is likely to see whether he gets any competitive minute as the Lilywhites take on The Cherries on their home turf.
It is worth noting that the Australian boss has entrusted his faith in another left-back Destiny Udogie as the priority choice, which has made it difficult for his competitor to flourish as he eagerly waits for his chance in England.
Though it can not be denied that the 27-year-old holds a high quality of brilliance in his game, if his current boss feels he is not good enough, then this absence is understandable.
Postecoglou gives a big update on Sergio Reguilon
Postecoglou expressed his firm belief and confidence in Spurs’ alternate left-back Sergio Reguilon’s readiness, stating the player is part of their squad and training consistently.
The 59-year-old acknowledged that the Spanish International is currently in the final year of his contract, leaving future developments open, showing no doubt in his attitude and preparation.
Sergio Reguilon “is ready” if needed as he is “part of the squad”: “He is in the last year of his contract with us. We’ll see how that all transpires. There’s nothing wrong with his attitude and he’s been training all the time.” – Postecoglou on Reguilon
While Reguilon is wanted by many European clubs like Getafe, who have shown big interest in him, it is still unclear whether the Madrid-born is eager to leave England this winter or when his contract expires next summer.
Standing in the final year of his contract, the left-footer’s long-term prospects appear uncertain. Unless injuries or tactical changes open the door, his role might remain limited, leaving a transfer in January or the summer a realistic possibility for more regular playing time.
Could he reinvent himself as a utility player, or is a January exit inevitable? His future may hinge on the unexpected chance of an injury or a tactical shift.
