Tottenham set final transfer deadline for unwanted defender

Tottenham want to make one final squad sale in the coming days despite the Premier League transfer window closing on August 30.

Spurs were busy in the final days of the EPL window as Ange Postecoglu looked to trim his bloated squad for the 2024/25 campaign.

Giovani Lo Celso's switch to La Liga side Real Betis was the final deal but Postecoglu was unable to offload defender Sergio Reguilon in the final hours before the deadline.

Reguilon is out of contract at the end of the 2024/25 season, after loans at Manchester United and Brentford in 2023/24, and Spurs could release him on a free transfer or accept another loan exit.

However, the club are still confident of being able to bring in a fee for the Spanish international amid rumours of a reunion with former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce.

The Turkish Super Lig transfer window remains open until September 13 and reports from Football Insider indicate Reguilon has been given a 'Turkish ultimatum'.

If the 27-year-old is unable or unwilling to make the move to Turkey, he will not feature significantly in Postecoglu's plans, and will spend the majority of the campaign on the bench.

A January exit remains a possible option, but interested clubs will push for a free transfer, as he will be into the final six months of his contract.
