Brentford are set to sign Tottenham left-back Sergio Reguilon on loan following his recall from Manchester United.
The Spaniard has been having a medical with the West London club on Wednesday ahead of joining on a straight six-month loan without any option or obligation to buy him.
The Bees had been hoping to sign a left-back this month following the long-term injury to Rico Henry, and they preferred to sign a young development player permanently
But due to limited options on the market and the opportunity to sign a player of the calibre of Reguilon, they have opted for the loan from Spurs until the summer.
Brentford agreed terms with Spurs earlier this week but had been waiting on a final answer from the player on Tuesday night, while a medical was scheduled for Wednesday.
