Worth £4m after being signed for £32m: Spurs’ “promising” 5 foot 10 dud was a great howler, in my opinion

Worth £4m after being signed for £32m: Spurs’ “promising” 5 foot 10 dud was a great howler, in my opinion.

 

 

Under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur has excelled this season. The team has not only improved results but also developed a distinct identity, something they have been lacking for some time.

 

With a game remaining, the Lilywhites trail Aston Villa by five points in the Premier League standings.

 

The Spurs supporters will be optimistic about their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, especially because they now have all of their important players available once again and have excellent backups in case of injuries.

This only serves to highlight how well Daniel Levy has recently recruited, yet there are still many players who he has brought in who haven’t performed well on the field.

The amount Spurs spent for Reguilon Sergio

As reported by journalist Kiyan Sobhani, Tottenham sought a long-term partner for Sergio Reguilon, who at the time had a “promising future,” in the summer of 2020.

 

After the full-back made an impression while on loan at Sevilla, where he played brilliantly in La Liga and helped the team win the Europa League, Jose Mourinho invested £32 million for him.

 

Reguilon replaced Ben Davies as the team’s starting left defender after 26 games played in his rookie campaign at Spurs.

The Spanish ace gained four assists during those games and established himself as a quick-witted, dynamic defender who offered unending assistance at both ends of the pitch.

 

The following season, Reguilon maintained his spot in the starting lineup, but under Antonio Conte, he would play left wing back, a position that much better fit his profile. Although he started 22 games, that was the height of the former Real Madrid prospect’s Spurs career.

Reguilon joined Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan last season with the intention of returning to Spain.

 

But the defender’s tenure under Diego Simeone was a nightmare; he started just two La Liga games, had two injuries, and spent fourteen games on the bench without seeing action.

 

When we fast-forward to this season, he played for Manchester United on loan for the first half of it, making 12 appearances. The 27-year-old is currently playing for Brentford on a loan from Spurs once more. He is replacing the injured Rico Henry as the team’s first-choice left wing back.

The 5-foot-10 star’s projected market value has entirely crashed by £28 million since joining the Lilywhites, and he is currently only worth slightly over £4 million, according to CIES Football Observatory. This is due to his lack of playing time and lackluster performances over the last several seasons.

As you can see, this would place him as the team’s joint least valuable player and the least likely to have featured regularly in the Premier League this year among the Spurs players. In summary, he is considered to be on par with some of the club’s recent academy grads.

 

Reguilon’s transfer from Spurs has been a complete blunder, and with Destiny Udogie emerging as a major asset at left-back, it seems unlikely that the Spaniard will be able to turn around his career under Postecoglou.
