'This is business': 27-year-old Tottenham star drops biggest hint he could leave the club permanently

Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon, on loan at Brentford, says he doesn't know what will happen after this season with one year left on his contract. The 27-year-old was a regular member of the Spurs squad in pre-season but was ultimately let go after falling behind Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie in the race to be Tottenham’s starting left-back.

He's now revealed in an interview with The Times that he did not know why he was allowed to leave despite manager Ange Postecoglou saying he was part of his plans. Reguilon said “During pre-season, I was very happy and he was happy with me, [as were] the staff. 

“I was playing like a normal player, all the games. The week before, I went to see him. You want me at the club?, Yes, I have to do a list and you are in my squad.

“It was strange. The next day I was out of training and I didn’t know what happened. I know I can play for Spurs, but in many aspects in football the player doesn’t have control. And I don’t want to stay to sit in the stadium watching. I am 27, I have too much football to live.

“I don’t understand why one day is ‘yes’ and next day is ‘no’ but ... I don’t think it [was for a] performance reason, I think it’s another reason; this is football, this is business.”

Asked specifically about his Tottenham future with just a year left on his contract, he said: “Who knows? I think I’m a top player but you have to show it."

Reguilon has since played 921 Premier League minutes for both Manchester United and Brentford since leaving on-loan in the summer.
