Spanish football journalist Alvaro Montero reveals Tottenham’s proposed deal to sign Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon includes a buy-back option for Real

Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid, with the left-back travelling to London on Friday after completing a medical.

Reguilon successfully underwent a medical in the Spanish capital on Thursday and is expected to sign a five-year deal with Spurs.

The 23-year-old travelled to London on a private jet owned by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy on Friday morning, alongside Gareth Bale.

Reguilon was named the best left-back in La Liga for his performances last season while on loan at Sevilla.

Real Madrid are well-stocked at left-back, with Brazil international Marcelo and France’s Ferland Mendy already on their squad, so are keen to sell Reguilon to raise funds to balance the books at the club.

Reguilon will arrive at Spurs alongside Gareth Bale

Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton were previously interested in signing Reguilon, with the Merseyside club making an £18m bid for the defender back in July.

Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho appears keen to strengthen his squad after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Everton on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg joined from Southampton and Matt Doherty arrived from Wolves earlier in the transfer window, but the signings of Bale and Reguilon will undoubtedly appease both the club’s manager and supporters.
