Reguilon was tipped to leave Spurs this summer, but nothing has materialised. He could remain stuck at the club, struggling for game time unless something happens soon.
The Turkish transfer window is running till September. Besikitas have been linked with a move for Reguilon in recent days.
Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce could also enter the mix. He signed the Spaniard for Tottenham and could look at his former player after selling Ferdi Kadioglu.
Reguilon needs to find a new home. His journey at the North London club looks done and dusted after today.
Spurs had to submit their list of players to UEFA by Wednesday, adhering to strict regulations regarding the make-up of players.
Setting up the Premier League squad is straightforward, but the Europa League rules are quite complex. One of the main differences is the classification of under-21 players.
Due to UEFA’s requirements, new signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, who would typically qualify as under-21 players, must be registered in the main squad.
The rules for homegrown players are also more stringent in European competition. Spurs had to submit a list with eight locally trained players, but they fell short, and UEFA reduced their overall squad size to 23 as punishment.
Spence was among those unfortunate to miss out. The 24-year-old had worked his way back into Postecoglou’s plans this summer. After a loan to Genoa failed to work out, the Englishman returned determined to nail a place in the first team, but those plans hit a massive setback.
His absence means Postecoglou could call up midfielder Gray to fill the right-back role in the Europa League. The former Leeds United starlet is versatile enough to slot in and potentially get more playing time.
