Look, nobody wants to talk about Tottenham Hotspur right now, I get it. It’s fine and completely understandable. So instead, let’s talk about a player who USED to be at Tottenham Hotspur but has managed to escape from its evil clutches and make his own way. According to Fabrizio Romano, former Spurs left back Sergio Reguilon has come to an agreement to sign with MLS Cup champions Inter Miami on a free transfer. Reguilon has been without a club since being cut by Spurs this past summer.
With the signing of Reguilon, Inter Miami are moving from the desiccated corpse of Jordi Alba to someone… well, at he’s least younger than Alba, right? Reguilon actually makes a lot of sense for Inter Miami, and MLS makes a lot of sense for Reggie. Say what you want about his time at Tottenham, he proved at minimum that he could be a somewhat cromulent Premier League caliber fullback after loan spells at Manchester United and Brentford.
At Inter Miami, Reguilon will presumably be given the keys to the starting left back position and will get to play with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets. And he gets to live in Miami, a famously pleasant climate in which to exist and play football. Not too shabby. And it’s hard to feel too bad for him considering he won a Europa League medal with Spurs last season despite playing a grand total of 196 minutes.
It took a while, but it sure looks like Sergio managed to land on his feet and with a club that recently won a trophy. Good for him.
