Tottenham Hotspur has announced its squad for the pre-season tour of Japan and Korea, but Bryan Gil and Sergio Reguilon are notable absentees.
Both players were allowed to stay behind to explore potential transfer opportunities away from Spurs.
Alongside Gil and Reguilon, Fraser Forster remains at Hotspur Way to continue his rehabilitation from a fractured foot. Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven will rejoin the squad closer to the start of the season after recently being involved in international duties for their respective countries.
Sergio Reguilon has drawn interest from Manchester United, who are considering re-signing the Spanish defender. Reguilon spent the latter part of last season on loan at Brentford, where he impressed with four assists in 16 appearances. (Transfermarkt)
With his contract set to expire next June, Spurs are eager to finalize a permanent transfer this summer to avoid losing the left-back for free next year.
Similarly, Bryan Gil is also looking for a move away from North London. The young winger made only 11 Premier League appearances last season, totalling just 201 minutes on the pitch. (Transfermarkt)
Despite having two years remaining on his contract, Tottenham is open to parting ways with Gil as he is not a key part of manager Ange Postecoglou’s plans, who has several quality options to deploy on the wings.
As the pre-season progresses, Spurs fans will be closely watching the potential departures of Gil and Reguilon, hoping for favourable outcomes that will strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
