# Tottenham Hotspur: Sergio Reguilon signing could put question marks around Ryan Sessegnon – Opinion

**As Tottenham Hotspur effectively seal a [£27.5 million move](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1306126825496641537) to sign Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid, with personal terms agreed and the player accepting to join Jose Mourinho’s side ([Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1306126825496641537)), some critics could be wondering where that leaves left-back Ryan Sessegnon.**

The Englishman, who endured a difficult first campaign in north London after completing a [£25 million move from Fulham](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49283542) in the summer of 2019, starting just [four Premier League games](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322611/History/Ryan-Sessegnon) all season, now faces an even bigger challenge as Reguilon enters the fray.

By comparison, the Spaniard enjoyed a stellar breakthrough season on loan at Sevilla while Sessegnon was left languishing on the sidelines – helping Los Palanganas to a [Europa League title](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/2030143--sevilla-vs-internazionale/postmatch/report/) and a finish in the [top four.](https://www.skysports.com/la-liga-table)

This prompted intense interest from the likes of Man United and Tottenham, with the latter club going on to[agree a move](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1306126825496641537), and now Sessegnon may face an even bigger battle to get into the first team.

Left-back Ben Davies had been preferred over the 20-year-old before Reguilon’s developments, with [the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8736401/Tottenham-edge-closer-sealing-stunning-return-Gareth-Bale.html) also confirming that Sessegnon is ‘certain’ to be shipped out on loan once the transfer has been completed.

After splashing a significant investment on the youngster last season, Levy going over that Sessegnon fee to land Reguilon for £27.5m could spell warning signs for the defender.

Now, given the club are reportedly looking for a winger, a slight glimmer of hope would be potentially playing further forward on the left side in coming seasons – with teammate Danny Rose describing him as a ‘[big threat](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/danny-rose-tottenham-do-the-impossible-jose-mourinho-this-season-a4311871.html)‘ in the past.

Valued at around [£22.5 million by Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-sessegnon/profil/spieler/392775), it’s also a possibility that Levy could be looking to recuperate the funds spent on Sessegnon whilst cutting the club’s losses – with Reguilon seemingly putting huge question marks around the player’s future.
