Club career

edit

Real Madrid

edit

Reguilón joined Real Madrid's youth system from EFM Villalba in 2005, aged eight.[2][4][5][6] On 5 August 2015, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Logroñés for the season.[7]

Reguilón made his senior debut on 23 August 2015, playing the last seven minutes in a 3–0 home win against Compostela. The following 16 January, after being sparingly used, he returned to Los Blancos and was assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[8]

On 23 August 2016, Reguilón returned to Logroñés also in a one-year loan deal.[9] Now an undisputed starter, he scored eight goals during the campaign; highlights included four past Bilbao Athletic on 2 October 2016 (5–3 home win).[10]

Upon returning to Castilla, Reguilón was a first-choice in Santiago Solari's side, and renewed his contract on 11 May 2018.[11] On 25 August of that year, he was promoted to the main squad by manager Julen Lopetegui.[12]

Reguilón made his first-team debut for Real Madrid on 2 October 2018, starting in a 1–0 UEFA Champions League away loss against CSKA Moscow.[13] He made his La Liga debut on 3 November 2018, starting in a 2–0 home win against Real Valladolid.[14]

Loan to Sevilla

edit

On 5 July 2019, Reguilón was loaned to Sevilla for the 2019–20 season.[15][16] On his official debut on 18 August, he scored the opener in a 2–0 success over Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.[17]

With Sevilla, Reguilón established himself as a regular starter and won the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League.[18]

Tottenham Hotspur

On 19 September 2020, Reguilón joined Tottenham Hotspur on a five-year deal[19][20] with a reported £27.5m buy-back clause.[21] He made his debut on 29 September 2020, in the home game against Chelsea in the fourth round of the League Cup, in which he assisted teammate Erik Lamela's equalising goal, which was then followed by a penalty shootout. Spurs won 5–4 on penalties putting them through to the next round of the competition.[22] He made his Premier League debut on 4 October, in a 6–1 win away to Manchester United.[23] On 19 May 2021, Reguilón scored his first goal for Tottenham − the winning goal in a 2–1 Premier League victory over Leeds United.[24]

Loans to Atlético Madrid, Manchester United and Brentford

On 30 August 2022, Reguilón joined Atlético Madrid on loan until the end of the season.[25] Upon returning to Tottenham, he joined Manchester United on a six-month loan on 1 September 2023 as emergency cover for the injured left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.[26] He returned to Tottenham on 2 January 2024, following the activation of a break clause within the loan agreement, as Shaw had by then recovered from injury.[27]

Two weeks later, on 17 January 2024, Tottenham loaned Reguilón to fellow Premier League side Brentford until the end of the season.[28]

International career
