West Ham United want to sign Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon this summer, according to AS.
Writing on their website [July 3], The Hammers are preparing to move for a player with whom Julen Lopetegui won the Europa League at Sevilla.
Reguillon spent the first half of last season on loan at Manchester United, but finished the season with Brentford after the Red Devils ended that spell.
The 27-year-old is ready to leave Tottenham after three loans since 2022.

Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg also documented the club’s efforts to sign Nice defender Jean Claude-Todibo.
With all these connections in place early on, Lopetegui could field a completely new defense next season at the London Stadium.
Despite an unimpressive loan spell at Manchester United, Reguilon has enjoyed success at Brentford.
He became a regular at Gtech Stadium and recorded four assists in 16 appearances.
With 12 months remaining on his contract, a deal would cost a fraction of the £30m Tottenham paid for his services in 2020.
Reguilon has three years’ experience in the Premier League, alternating with a loan period at Atletico Madrid this season.
For the 2022/23 season, signing the Spanish defender could be a smart move for the club.
