Tottenham have completed the £27m signing of full-back Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid

The 23-year-old, who was named La Liga’s best left-back last season, joins on a five-year deal having fallen behind Ferland Mendy and Marcelo at the Bernabeu. 

Manchester United had also been in contact with Reguilon’s representatives, however, Madrid were insistent that a buy-back clause was included in any deal - a stipulation Spurs have agreed to.

Jose Mourinho already has Ben Davies, Ryan Sessegnon, and Dennis Cirkin in his first-team squad, raising the possibility that one of the latter two could now leave the club loan.

Moments after announcing Reguilon’s arrival, Spurs also confirmed the signing of Gareth Bale on a season-loan long from Real.

Bale returns to north London seven years after switching from Spurs to Madrid for a then world record fee.
