Tottenham are in talks with Atletico Madrid over a deal to send Sergio Reguilon back to Spain, while Fulham and Lazio also hope to get in on the act.

Reguilon has dropped down the pecking order at Tottenham after Antonio Conte made it clear he was going to move forward without using the Spaniard this season. Instead, Conte is going with the pairing of Ryan Sessegnon and Ivan Perisic down the left.

And according to Football.London, the club are now in talks with La Liga outfit Atletico over a deal to see Reguilon return to his homeland.

Reguilon was initially a regular when Jose Mourinho was in charge and many thought he might flourish as a wing-back in Conte’s system. However, that has not been the case and instead, Reguilon has found himself cast aside by the Italian manager.

Reports yesterday suggested that Atletico had made a loan move for ‘Reggy’. It remains to be seen if Spurs will insist that move is made permanent or whether, for now, they’ve happy to simply get him off the books. Other players, such as Harry Winks and Gio Lo Celso, have also been cast aside like Reguilon has under Conte.

TBR’s View: Atletico A Brilliant Move For Reguilon

This wouldn’t half be a bit of a jackpot move for Sergio Reguilon. Yes, there are some decent clubs after him over here in England but the thought of signing for Atletico is tempting.

They are a huge club who are always on the brink of success and you get the feeling Reguilon might well thrive under the guidance of Diego Simeone.

For Tottenham, this is just a case of getting a player off the books who has fallen by the wayside a bit. Reguilon did initially look a brilliant signing but Conte has his ways of working, and that’s simply left him out in the cold.
