Star, who flopped at Man Utd, admits he is stunned by club departure after speaking to manager

SERGIO REGUILON remains stunned by his move to Tottenham.

The Spaniard claims he was told by Ange Postecoglou that he was part of the Spurs boss’ plans at the start of the season.

But he was then loaned out to Manchester United for the first half of the season as cover for the injured Luke Shaw, before being loaned out to Brentford in January.

Reguilon, 27, said: “During the preparation I was very happy and he (Postecoglou) was happy with me, also with the staff.

“I played all the matches like a normal player.

“The week before I went to see him. “Do you want me to be at the club?” “Yes, I have to make a list and you are on my team.” It was strange.

“The next day I was outside training and I didn’t know what happened.”

Destiny Udogie emerged as Postecoglou’s first choice, while Reguilon – signed from Real Madrid for £32m in 2020 – underwent his second and third loans at the club.

This was said by the ex-Atletico Madrid star, who has another year left on his contract with Spurs this summer The times: “I know I can play for Spurs, but many aspects of football are out of the player’s control.

“And I don’t feel like sitting in the stadium watching. I’m 27, I have too much football to live.

“I don’t understand why one day it’s ‘yes’ and the next it’s ‘no’, but…

“I don’t think it’s a performance reason. I think it’s another reason: this is football, this is business.”

Reguilon has made 67 appearances for Spurs so far, with his last appearance coming two years ago.

Last season he made twelve appearances for Atletico and this season he made another twelve appearances for United.

Reguilon has played five times for Brentford so far.

But with Rico Henry expected to regain his place when he eventually returns from a long-term injury, Reguilon may also have no future at the west London club.
