Released Tottenham player now set to tee up Lionel Messi goals as announcement made

Sergio Reguilon struggled to make his mark at Tottenham, but he has now been given a fresh career path in Major League Soccer.

Reguilon was released by Tottenham in the summer, bringing an end to the full-back’s five-year spell on Spurs’ books.

The Spain international spent time out on loan with Atletico Madrid, Brentford and Manchester United during that period.

Reguilon was unable to earn himself a new deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has been without a club since departing.

Sergio Reguilon joins Inter Miami

Monaco had been linked with Reguilon, while a number of other clubs are reported to have shown an interest in the free agent following his Tottenham exit.

However, Inter Miami confirmed on Monday that Reguilon has now joined them until the end of the 2027 season, with the option of a further year.

It means Reguilon will get the chance to provide ammunition for Lionel Messi next season, with the Argentina international staying on with the MLS Cup winners.

“It’s a very ambitious project, a winning club that is doing things the right way, and that’s what attracted me: coming here to keep winning and competing,” Reguilon said.

“My objective is to keep winning, go after the trophies we’re missing, and win everything here.“

Reguilon has also previously represented Real Madrid and Sevilla, and is still aged just 28.

Reguilon previously hit out at Ange Postecoglou

Speaking in 2024 after being loaned out to Brentford, Reguilon opened up on effectively being lied to by then-Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.

“During pre-season I was very happy and he was happy with me, [as were] the staff,” Reguilon said.

“I was playing like a normal player, all the games. The week before, I went to see him. ‘You want me at the club?’, ‘Yes, I have to do a list and you are in my squad’.

“It was strange. The next day I was out of training and I didn’t know what happened.”

Reguilon returned to Spurs last season by barely got a look-in, having to settle for just a handful of appearances.

The defender now has a chance to kickstart his career abroad, and with age still very much on his side, he may well be back in the Premier League one day.

Robbie Keane has been tipped as a replacement for Thomas Frank at Tottenham after the latest nightmare on the pitch.

Frank appeared to have ridden out the storm when Spurs beat Brentford and Slavia Prague relatively comfortably last week, but he came crashing back to reality on Sunday.

Tottenham were easily beaten 3-0 at Nottingham Forest in a game where Guglielmo Vicario made a pair of bad errors leading to Callum Hudson-Odoi goals.

And now former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega believes the Dane needs to go, and has tipped ex-Spurs striker Keane as the man to replace him.

Ramon Vega says Robbie Keane will inspire Tottenham players

The Ferencvaros boss has won titles in Israel and Hungary already and last week beat Rangers in the Europa League.

His passionate celebrations afterwards as a former Celtic forward drew attention, and is part of what Vega thinks would make him the right fit at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Speaking live on talkSPORT Vega put Frank’s current struggles down to a lack of connection with his players, which he believes Keane would have no problem with.

He told Jeff Stelling and Ally McCoist: “The questions is who is gonna potentially be good for this? I have a suggestion. Robbie Keane is pretty much now the Irish boy in Ferencvaros, he’s done very well, just beat Rangers as well… he would be a good one.

“He’s a kind of DNA ex-player, but he knows the psychological side of the dressing room. What is missing for me here with Thomas, I don’t see he inspires these players in the dressing room.

“I don’t see inspiration, I don’t see this connection, I don’t see the respect a manager gets and you show that with the body language on the football pitch. That’s where a Premier League manager needs to work most.”

Keane a valid option for Tottenham, but not yet

On current evidence Frank looks more likely to join the ever-growing list of recent Spurs bosses who have come and gone since Mauricio Pochettino without finding the answers.

However, this is a different club now that Daniel Levy has been removed from his position, so it is possible they are prepared to weather the storm of criticism from fans and media and give Frank the season to establish himself.

It is notoriously inefficient to hire a manager, back him in the transfer window, and then get rid of him to leave a squad of players that will inevitably need revamping in the image of the replacement, but if they are going to sack the Dane they may as well do it now while there is still a winter window for the next coach rather than later in the season.

For all Keane is developing some solid credentials as a manager in winning titles in Europe it is surely premature for him to be in the running for Spurs just yet.

It is debatable whether it is more of a step up from mid-table Premier League in Frank’s case, or with league winners in smaller overseas leagues in Keane’s, but both invite claims of being out of their depth if things don’t go well quickly.

Frank is finding that out right now, and Keane would risk being chewed up and spat out if he replaced him, but if he continues on his current trajectory it might not seem such a fanciful suggestion in a few years’ time.

Unhappy Manor Solomon ready for Tottenham return as loan termination update emerges

Manor Solomon could be headed back to Tottenham in the January transfer window amid discontent with his latest loan spell.

Solomon joined Villarreal for the season in the summer but is barely getting a game for the Spanish side and is considering an early exit.

The Israeli international hasn’t featured for Spurs in over two years and only has six appearances for the club in total, but was on the bench for early under Thomas Frank for the defeat to Burnley in late August.

Solomon was a prominent feature in Leeds United’s Championship-winning side last season but has now only featured in 10 matches this term for the Yellow Submarine, starting just once in La Liga.

Manor Solomon unhappy with Villarreal loan

According to a new updated from local outlet in Spain El Periodico Mediterraneo the 26-year-old has a clause in his loan agreement that would let him unilaterally terminate the deal during the January transfer window.

MORE SPURS STORIES

As such, an early exit is not thought to be out of the question, with sources close to the winger said not to be ruling out the possibility after Solomon himself expressed his dissatisfaction at the lack of playing time on social media recently.

For Villarreal’s part they are not considered likely to be badly affected due to a large squad with plenty of other options.

Permanent Leeds deal appears obvious Solomon move

While Frank’s sputtering attacking unit back in England could probably use all the help it can get at the moment there doesn’t look to be much interest from Tottenham‘s side in getting Solomon involved in that.

He made a reasonable start to the season under Ange Postecoglou two years ago before losing the rest of the campaign to a serious injury, but after bouncing back under Daniel Farke at Elland Road last term to the tune of 41 total appearances the ship appears to have sailed in North London.

Frank was impressed by Solomon when he first took the Spurs job but clearly that didn’t translate into a place in the side for the first half of the campaign.

At 26 Solomon is hardly an up-and-coming talent so if Frank doesn’t see any use for him in January, assuming the Dane is even still in charge by that point, then a permanent exit is surely on the cards sooner or later.

Leeds are widely reported to remain interested in bringing him back, and since Farke has secured his own job with some positive results it would appear to make most sense for all involved to work something out with the Whites.

Brendan Rodgers could be the man to replace Thomas Frank at Tottenham.

The Dane is coming under increased pressure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium right now after Spurs lost 3-0 away to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Djed Spence openly questioned Frank at the City Ground, raising more questions over the respect he commands in North London.

Frank could face the sack at Tottenham after just months in charge as fans continue to grow frustrated with results and performances this season.

The Lilywhites could now look to move on from Frank and replace him with Rodgers after what Jeff Stelling has heard.

Brendan Rodgers could replace Thomas Frank at Tottenham

Rodgers is one of the favourites to take over Tottenham should the N17 club look to pull the trigger on the Danish head coach.

The 52-year-old has overseen just 16 Premier League matches with the Lilywhites after replacing Ange Postecoglou over the summer.

With just six wins and an 11th-place spot in the table, it is fair to say that supporters have had enough with Frank after the Forest defeat.

Rodgers could be the man to turn things around in North London, with the ex-Liverpool man available after leaving Celtic earlier this season.

This idea was put forward to Stelling live via talkSPORT on 15 December, and he was certainly open to the Northern Irishman’s appointment.

He said: “Abby, who’s a Manchester United fan, says, ‘Thomas Frank is out of his depth with Spurs, it’s too big a challenge, and he’ll get the push by Christmas. Que Brendan Rodgers arriving at the scene.’

“[That’s] Not the daftest of suggestions.“

Rodgers could stabilise Tottenham this season

There would be plenty of noise in N17 if the former Celtic boss were to come in and become the new Spurs manager.

Tottenham fans may not be pleased to welcome the 52-year-old, but he does have a winning pedigree that the Lilywhites need.

Rodgers was a serial winner in Scotland and came so close to winning the Premier League during his spell with Liverpool.

He isn’t the most inspiring of appointments, but as a man manager to get the best out of a struggling squad, he could be a useful option to potentially replace Frank.

Tottenham’s recent success in Europe and their multiple other partnerships should see them secure a stadium naming rights deal worth millions, Dan Plumley believes.

Spurs are yet to sell their stadium naming rights, despite the ground being open since 2019.

As a result, it continues to be solely known as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the North London club potentially missing out on millions due to a lack of a deal.

However, the impending announced arrival of Alex Scotcher at Tottenham could help quicken this process.

Dan Plumley: Multiple factors could help Tottenham secure big stadium rights deal

Scotcher is set to join Tottenham as their new commercial director in January.

It is an astute hire from the North London club, with Scotcher previously helping Everton to secure a £10million deal with Hill Dickinson over their stadium rights.

The appointment has resulted in renewed hope that they can get a deal done, with Todd Kline previously failing to sell Tottenham’s naming rights.

Now, Scotcher has been told that he should be able to secure a deal worth well over £10m at Tottenham due to the various successes the North London club has had in recent years.

When asked if Spurs can get a bigger deal than Everton for their stadium rights, Plumley exclusively told Tottenham Hotspur News: “They will certainly believe they can, and I don’t mean that disrespectfully to Everton.

“They have had more recent success in terms of qualification for Europe, etc, and have other partnerships at the stadium (NFL, F1, etc.) that any sponsor can also leverage.

“The club is also based in London, so geography comes into it, too. That said, it is still not that easy to secure naming rights despite it seeming like a no-brainer.

“Some of the biggest deals in Europe only average to around £17-20m per season, so Spurs may be looking for uplift on Everton’s £10m, but they might struggle to get close to £20m as an example.”

Why is selling the stadium rights such a high priority for Tottenham?

It is said that Tottenham previously wanted £25m to sell their stadium rights, an extremely high fee in the footballing world.

However, if secured, it would no doubt help bring in a steady flow of cash to the North London club.

Spurs have often been left behind in the transfer market compared to other big six sides due to their inability to spend big at times on players they want.

This was on show in the summer, with Tottenham unable to pay Manchester City’s asking price for Savinho, despite being in a PSR position to do so.

As a result, if a deal on the naming rights is secured, it could help give Spurs enough wiggle room to bring in additional signings.

Thomas Frank is under huge pressure at Tottenham after their defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Spurs lost 3-0 away to Sean Dyche’s side, who are now just four points behind them in the Premier League standings despite being in the relegation dog fight for several months.

At this stage last season, Ange Postecoglou‘s Spurs had one more point than Frank has achieved this term, and as we all know, that campaign turned out to be the North London club’s worst ever in the history of the Premier League.

Frank’s future as Tottenham’s manager was called into question on Match of the Day on Sunday night, with fans angry about the lack of progress the ex-Brentford boss has overseen since replacing Postecoglou in the summer.

Ex-Tottenham chairman Lord Alan Sugar has already called for Jurgen Klopp to replace Frank, while Brendan Rodgers has also emerged as a potential candidate for the job, if Spurs were to sack the under-pressure Dane.

Odds slashed on Brendan Rodgers arrival, but deal now close elsewhere

After Tottenham‘s defeat to Forest, one major bookmaker slashed the odds on Rodgers becoming the next Spurs manager.

At the same time, Frank has become the new favourite among Premier League managers to be sacked next.

However, it seems that the former Liverpool and Leicester manager, who resigned as Celtic boss in October, is being lined up for a job elsewhere.

The Athletic journalist David Ornstein reported via X on Monday that Al-Qadsiah are on the verge of reaching an agreement with Rodgers to become their new manager.

The Khobar-based Saudi Arabian side are currently fifth in the Saudi Pro League. However, on Sunday, it was confirmed that Michel had left his post at the club.

Rodgers, 52, is currently travelling to the Middle East to finalise his deal with Al-Qadsiah, who boast the kikes of Julian Weigl and Mateo Retegui in their squad.

Ex-Liverpool and England striker Robbie Fowler previously managed Al-Qadsiah.

He was replaced in 2023 by Real Madrid legend Michel, who now looks set to be succeeded by Rodgers.

If not Brendan Rodgers, who else could succeed Thomas Frank in charge?

It doesn’t seem likely that Tottenham will axe Frank just yet.

It’s a very awkward time of year to do it with a congested fixture schedule on the horizon, as well as the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Will the Lewis Family want to be working overtime to sort out a replacement for Frank at Christmas? We really doubt it.

There’s also the transfer window coming up and boy, do Spurs need it.

However, if they do decide to pull the plug on Frank, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is the current favourite to take charge.

Marco Silva is also in the running with his Fulham contract expiring at the end of the season.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is also likely to be a contender if Frank is given his marching orders by the London club.

Tottenham Women fans did not exactly have a Sunday to celebrate.

Spurs found themselves 3-0 up against Manchester United, in what would have been one of the shock results of the season.

However, the Red Devils staged a late comeback and would eventually level the scoreline in the 94th minute as the match ended 3-3.

It was no doubt a sour note for Martin Ho, whose reign at Tottenham has been fantastic so far.

Nevertheless, it was another point on the board, with Spurs remaining in touching distance of the Champions League places.

Tottenham Women match points total from last season

Life before Ho was bleak at Spurs.

Last season, Tottenham were dreadful, and lost seven of their final 10 matches, failing to win a single one.

As a result, the North London side finished 11th, one place above the drop zone.

Therefore, when Ho entered the club, he no doubt had his work cut out.

Yet, the turnaround has been remarkable, with Spurs easily being one of the best teams in the division.

Now, the size of the improvement he has overseen is clearer than ever, with the point at the Progress with Unity Stadium ensuring that Tottenham have now already matched their points total from last season.

This is despite Spurs only being halfway through the campaign, proving how insane this feat actually is.

Martin Ho gutted Tottenham Women could not hold on for win

While many Spurs fans would have taken a point before the game, considering the side were 3-0 up, it is no doubt two points dropped.

A victory would have seen Tottenham leapfrog Man United and go level on points with Arsenal in the Champions League places.

However, the collapse late in the second half prevented this as Ho missed out on a statement result.

Reflecting on the game afterwards, the manager was disappointed that they could not see the result over the line.

“I thought for 70 minutes, we were outstanding – our attacking play and how we defended,” Martin told Tottenham on 14 December.

“We just got to the back end of the game and they pushed it really well. The players have given me everything and I couldn’t have asked any more. They’ve battled through the whole of that game, and they’ve given me everything in this first part of the season. I’m just absolutely gutted for them.

“You never want to concede three goals – the players don’t and I don’t either, but when you’re playing against the top teams, they push you right to the end. We’ve had injuries, but that’s not an excuse. We have a good enough squad and the players have given me everything. I’m gutted we couldn’t get it over the line.

“We can take a lot of pride from this and we’ve taken big steps. We’ve grown as a team and come here to push Manchester United on their own patch, especially after going 3–0 up.”

Pedro Porro is on the verge of a one-match ban after picking up a yellow card in Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

There were zero positives to take from the match as Spurs were completely undone by Forest, who are battling for survival.

Pressure has now piled on Thomas Frank at Tottenham, with his stay at the North London club looking set to be a short one.

However, things have now gone from bad to worse for the manager, with Porro now close to a one-match ban.

Pedro Porro one yellow card away from suspension

Porro has been a frustrating figure at Tottenham this season.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The full-back seems incapable of putting in consistent displays, which has no doubt helped contribute to the club’s recent downturn in form.

On top of this, his discipline is nothing to be desired, with the Spain international picking up his fourth booking of the season against Nottingham Forest.

Late in the match, Porro took out Neco Williams after Forest put together a series of passes, with the full-back picking up a yellow for the incident.

Now, the Spurs man is one card after from a one-match suspension.

In the Premier League, if you are yellow-carded five times between match day one and 19, you are suspended for one game.

Therefore, Porro will now have to navigate the next three games without being booked, or he will be banned.

How bad was Porro against Nottingham Forest?

According to Fotmob on 14 December, Porro was dire against Nottingham Forest.

The full-back only completed 72 per cent of his passes and failed to make a single successful dribble or cross.

It was a bleak performance from a player who looked to have turned a corner in recent matches.

Now, Frank will be furious with his display, with the Spain international nowhere near the standard required to compete in the Premier League.

Real Madrid are closely monitoring Tottenham’s Yang Min-Hyeok, who is currently on loan in the Championship with Portsmouth.

Tottenham decided to loan Yang out in the summer after signing him in January from South Korean side Gangwon FC.

There are high hopes for Yang at N17, and that he can one day become a starting winger for the Lilywhites, as a loan to the Championship was deemed the right move.

However, the Korean hasn’t exactly set the world alight for Portsmouth, but Real Madrid‘s detailed plan suggests that they have seen enough of the forward.

Real Madrid see Yang Min-Hyeok as a missing piece

Yang has impressed in glimpses for Portsmouth but is yet to cement a starting spot in John Mousinho’s lineup.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The 19-year-old was hooked at halftime in Portsmouth’s recent game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, when his side staged a second-half comeback to win the match 2-1.

But Yang did have his best run of form back in October, which may have caught the attention of Real Madrid officials.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Madrid want to bring Hyeok to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in a package deal that would total just over £6million for Spurs.

The Los Blancos want to sign Yang and put him in their development team, Real Madrid Castilla, so that they can compete for promotion to Spain’s second division.

The Korean is seen as an “ideal” piece for Madrid’s development squad, and the plan would help the winger adapt to Spanish football.

Considering Yang’s drop in form of late, Tottenham could be tempted to sell their starlet.

Tottenham should be patient with Yang, here’s why

Last season, Spurs also loaned Yang out to the Championship after striking a January deal to send him to QPR.

The winger also failed to nail down a starting spot for the R’s but did show flashes of brilliance, as Tottenham have been urged to stay patient with Yang.

His loan move to Portsmouth is currently going the same way it did with QPR; however, it’s a long season, and Yang could still play an important part for Pompey, as they fight for survival.

If Real Madrid, of all clubs, see something in him, then it’s only a compliment to Tottenham’s recruitment and the player who is contracted to their club until 2030.

For the touted £6m that Tottenham would be offered, cashing in on Yang so early would have minimal benefits for what could follow if he continues to develop.

Tottenham have got a lot of things right this season, but there is one issue that they have been horrendously wrong on.

Tottenham invested a huge sum into the playing squad for their return to the Champions League, and their campaign in Europe is going well.

However, fans had become frustrated with the pricing for the home matches, feeling that the quality of the opposition has not reflected how expensive tickets were.

Tottenham have already announced a U-turn for the Borussia Dortmund clash, but more must be done.

Tottenham must realise what has gone wrong with Champions League pricing

John Wenham believes that Tottenham must reduce their pricing, as the fans already pay extortionate prices to attend league matches.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “I was at the game on Tuesday night, in my normal area, I’m in the South Stand, which is supposed to be the hardcore support, 17,000-seat stand.

“There was not a single regular season ticket holder around me, who had opted to buy their ticket, quite simply, because we already pay the most expensive tickets in the league, and they are asking for an additional £60 for Slavia Prague at home.

“It is just not realistic, the club have to realise, by reducing the prices, even to say £30 or £40, you then fill out the stadium, all those people attending are spending more money on food, drinks, merchandise, whatever it is, and the club makes more money overall.

“I hope that they have learnt their lesson from this, I will give them some credit, originally when the Borussia Dortmund game ticket prices came out, it is scheduled for 20 January, and they were category A prices, in my seat, that would have been £80, they have realised from the attendances from the Prague, Villarreal and Copenhagen games, that they aren’t selling the seats.

“They have reduced the prices to category B for Dortmund, and I think that is right, they are not Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona, so I think that is the correct call, so at least they have realised that, but the pricing on the whole has just been wrong for this whole Champions League campaign.

“The level of teams we have played in the home games are basically Europa League teams, I think it would have been wise to offer some sort of package, maybe £100 but that covers all four games, that would have guaranteed bums on seats, or maybe some sort of flexible pricing, to encourage people to bring their kids to the games to attract the next generation of fans.”

Tottenham need to get supporters back on board

The relationship with Spurs and their fans has finally started to be rebuilt after Daniel Levy’s departure, with the businessman being the main reason for the frustration from a huge portion of the fanbase.

However, they risk things becoming toxic again, if the tickets remain at the level that they have been, luckily, it seems as though they have listened, after the Dortmund developments.
