Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has hinted that Sergio Reguilon should be fine to start against Arsenal in the Premier League tomorrow.

The Spanish full-back joined Spurs in a £28million deal in the summer transfer window, going on to make 10 appearances in competitions for Jose Mourinho’s men.

Reguilon has impressed in the short time he’s been in North London, helping Tottenham go top of the Premier League table after ten games.

The 23-year-old has started Spurs’ last four league games, including the win over Manchester City and the draw with Chelsea.

Reguilon didn’t travel to LASK in midweek but, speaking ahead of the North London derby, Mourinho is optimistic that he’ll be able to play.

Asked by Football London whether the left-back will feature, Mourinho replied: “I believe so. He had a little problem. He was not available

“It was not like I wanted to protect him. He had a problem but it’s the kind of problem that I can say I expect him to play (this weekend).

Reguilon has been a revelation for Spurs, his superb performances cementing his place as the club’s first-choice left-back and going towards the team doing so well this season.

He has earned plenty of plaudits from fans and pundits, including Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

He told Match of the Day 2 after the win over West Brom: “You see Reguilon there, who had another brilliant game, getting forward, but he was across there to cover him. He was in the right place and the right time today, every single time.”

Will Reguilon feature against Wright’s beloved team and deliver another brilliant display to help defeat the Gunners? We’ll see tomorrow.
