Tottenham were presented with an opportunity they simply couldn't turn down in September 2020. Adding to the squad in Jose Mourinho's first summer as head coach, a new left-back wasn't a priority for the club ahead of the 2020/21 campaign with Ben Davies and Ryan Sessegnon already on the books.
However, the chance to sign Sergio Reguilon was one they couldn't pass up after a standout campaign on loan at Sevilla. Previously getting so much joy from Kyle Walker and Danny Rose in the full-back positions, Tottenham's position of strength had quickly diminished with the former moving on and the latter struggling to recapture his best form after a serious injury.
Registering three goals and five assists in his time with Sevilla, it appeared that Tottenham had solved their issue at left-back with the attack-minded Spaniard joining from Real Madrid. The early signs were extremely positive, with the 25-year-old impressing going forward and quickly registering brilliant assists in the wins over West Ham and Brighton & Hove Albion.
