# Tottenham: Alan Hutton identifies Sergio Reguilon replacement

**[BBC pundit](https://icdb.tv/stats/3725/Alan-Hutton) Alan Hutton believes that [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) could replace Sergio Reguilon with Ryan Sessegnon if the Spaniard leaves north London this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Sevilla in talks for Reguilon

The 25-year-old still has [three years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-reguilon/profil/spieler/282429) remaining on his contract with the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) giants, but the left-back has been [linked](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/daniel-levy-antonio-conte-transfers-24036960) with a move away from the club after it was [revealed](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1545819471708704768) last weekend that he had been omitted from the Lilywhites’ pre-season tour of South Korea.

A Spurs source told [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-reguilon-sources/) on Tuesday that Reguilon was in advanced talks over completing a loan move to Sevilla, so an exit this summer very much appears to be on the cards.

### The Latest: Hutton backs Sessegnon

Asked by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-already-have-sergio-reguilon-replacement-in-the-building-after-sources-reveal-pundit/) whether Tottenham would be open to letting the defender leave, Hutton said: “I think they’ll still listen to offers. I think Antonio Conte is still searching for the right dynamic when it comes to the left wing-back and the right wing-back. He still seems like he’s searching at this moment in time.

“Djed Spence looks like he’s a possibility for the right, Reguilon on the left.

“I like him as an attacking player, he came from Real Madrid, there was a lot of hype about him. Defensively, I still think that’s where he lets himself down just like Emerson Royal on the other side.

“I think to play in a Conte team you have to do both very well. So, if there is an offer that comes in they will listen to it.

“You’ve got the likes of \[Ryan\] Sessegnon who ticks a lot of the boxes, he’s still young, he’s hungry to learn and develop so he’s got options there. But if a decent fee comes in I think they will listen to it.“

### The Verdict: Long-term vision

It yet remains to be seen where Conte is planning on deploying Ivan Perisic on the left-hand side, but if the 52-year-old is going to play the Croatian as a natural winger, then Sessegnon does have the defensive quality to hold down a position in the backline.

The former Fulham starlet was only granted 13 top-flight appearances last season but made a positive impression when he was on the pitch, averaging 1.7 tackles and 1.5 clearances per 90 minutes (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322611/Show/Ryan-Sessegnon)).

At just 22 years of age, Sessegnon has already shown glimpses of what he’s capable of producing in the starting XI, and Conte could see him as part of his long-term plans having [included](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2022/july/korea-tour-squad-confirmed/) him in his squad for the Asian pre-season tour.

Therefore, the youngster could go on to become a first-team regular at Spurs and back up Hutton’s faith in him.
