Sergio Reguilon, known for his close relationship with Son Heung-min, has been loaned to Kim Ji-soo’s team Brentford.
Brentford announced on its official website on Wednesday (Korea Standard Time) that it would recruit Legilon on loan. The contract period is until the end of the 2023-2024 season.
Reguilon is a Spanish left-back whose strengths are his fast feet and participation in the attack. After playing for Real Madrid Youth, he also played in the first division, but he could not fully settle down. From 2019, he spent a lot of time on loan. He spent the 2019-2020 season in Sevilla and moved to Tottenham in 2020, but he could not stay for more than two years and moved around again on loan. He spent a year at Atletico Madrid in 2022, and spent the first half of this season on loan at Manchester United for half a year.
He played a total of 12 matches for Manchester United. Luke Shaw, who had been sidelined due to injury, filled the vacancy of Tyral Malacia, but was naturally pushed to the bench when Shaw returned. Regilon had already conditionally included a clause on his return to the team, but returned to the team early on loan for playing time and immediately left in search of a new team 헤라카지노도메인.
Brentford was promoted to the English Premier League (PL) in 2021 and has been playing for three years. It also made headlines last summer when it recruited Kim Ji-soo, a promising Korean center back. However, this season is facing a crisis. With five wins, four draws and 10 losses, Brentford is ranking 16th in the league, just two points shy of Luton Town, which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone. With no win in the last seven games, the team needed a turnaround. Still, Leguilon has strengthened its power, raising expectations for a rebound in the second half of the season.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank said, “It’s a very good contract for us. We’ve talked for a while about the need for a good left-back, and we’ve got a very good centre-back,” adding, “Sergio is a proven player in every way, and he’s perfect for us. He’s very aggressive, he’s got a good cross and a very good left foot.”
Regilon also said, “I’m very happy. I need it now in my career. Manager Thomas was at the core of the transfer. It is a moment when I have to play consistently, and I think the club can give me that. I will do everything for the team for six months. It is also important for my future.”
Reguilon is expected to return to Tottenham after gaining as much time as possible for six months. It is a simple loan transfer without a complete transfer clause. It is expected to be an important time for Reguilon to find a new team this summer.
