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.
Reguilon joined Manchester United on loan on Deadline Day in the summer after an injury to Tyrell Malacia, and he played nine times for them in the Premier League and once in the EFL Cup.
But due to the imminent return to fitness of Malacia and the availability of Luke Shaw following a recent knock, Reguilon was no longer needed at Old Trafford and returned to Spurs.
