Sergio Reguilon: Brentford sign Tottenham left-back on loan
- Published
Sergio Reguilon has played six games for Spain
Brentford have signed Tottenham's Spanish defender Sergio Reguilon on loan until the end of the season.
The left-back, 27, 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 Spurs from Real Madrid in 2020 and spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid.
"This is a very good signing for us," said Brentford manager Thomas Frank. "Sergio is a perfect fit for us."
He added: "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.
F"He fits what we want. He's very offensive, has a very good cross and a very good left foot.
"He's got the experience we need to complement the rest of the squad and he's a good character.
"We need him, but I also think he needs us to show how good a footballer he is. I'm convinced that this will be a positive partnership."
Reguilon, who made 12 appearances for United, could make his debut in Saturday's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, a game that will also see striker Ivan Toney return for the Bees.
Brentford are 16th in the Premier League, three points above the relegation zone.
Reguilon said: "I'm very happy, I think this is what I need now in this moment in my career.
"Thomas was key in this move, for me. I'm in a moment 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's also important for my future.
"The team has to re-focus in the Premier League, Ivan [Toney]'s back and I think we can do many things together."
