‘Weak link’: £32m Tottenham player had an absolute nightmare last night
It’s clear that Tottenham Hotspur have been keen to make the most of the loan market this season, seeking moves for several players.
Ashley Phillips and Alfie Devine left for Plymouth Argyle in January with Ange Postecoglou’s approval, presumably to get some first-team experience.
Alejo Veliz was also sent to Sevilla on loan last month, demonstrating Spurs’ relentless pursuit of opportunities.
Along with some of the aforementioned young players, Tottenham also has some veteran players who are playing elsewhere in an effort to boost their sell-on value.
This season, Tanguy Ndombele is at Galatasaray, Joe Rodon is at Leeds United, and Sergio Reguilon is at Brentford, to name a few.
With his team expanding, Ange Postecoglou will undoubtedly be looking to make a lot of progress in the summer, and those names mentioned may help raise some significant money.
Having said that, Sergio Reguilon’s rising star at Brentford may have suffered a slight setback against West Ham United last night.
The defender on loan from Tottenham has had a rough start to the second half of the season with his new team, but yesterday night was a rough one.
On loan Tottenham man Sergio Reguilon endures nightmare evening amid difficult season
Reguilon, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Manchester United, has been performing well at Brentford, helping to forget his difficult six months under Erik ten Hag.
However, the Spaniard, who Spurs bought for £32m back in 2020, struggled against West Ham’s attackers.
And following the game, London World were pretty damning in their assessment of his 73 minutes.
Reguilon received a match rating of three out of ten, and the publication stated that he showed some signs of being a liability.
“A little bit of a weak link tonight,” it said. West Ham were jubilant down the right.
“He ran a fine line with dissent at times and did some nice work going forwards, but he cut a frustrated figure and needed to be cautioned by teammates.”
Naturally, supporters of Brentford and Tottenham will want the on-loan defender to get well quickly because he is a talented player.
To be honest, Thomas Frank’s side had a rough evening overall.
Having said that, it appears that Tottenham could be getting close to signing a new striker.
