LONDON, Aug 31 — Tottenham Hotspur’s Spain left back Sergio Reguilon has joined Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan deal, the two clubs said on Tuesday.

Having came through Real Madrid’s academy under then youth team coach Zinedine Zidane, Reguilon joined Spurs in 2020 after a season on loan at Sevilla where he won the Europa League.

The 25-year-old has made 67 appearances in all competitions in his two seasons at the Premier League club.

Reguilon has joined Atletico to replace Brazilian left back Renan Lodi, who has moved to Nottingham Forest on a loan.

He has just had surgery on a niggling groin problem that troubled him last season, the La Liga club confirmed, although they did not give a timeline for his return. — Reuters
