Sevilla swooping for Real Madrid fullback Sergio Reguilon

Sevilla are swooping for Real Madrid fullback Sergio Reguilon.

AS says Reguilon is joining Sevilla on a season-long loan - the deal will be confirmed on Thursday.

The signing is a personal request of new Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui, who worked with Reguilon as Real boss last season.

Reguilon played 22 games for Real last season - his first at senior level.

Lopetegui is prepared to make the youngster his first-choice left-back ahead of veteran Sergio Escudero.
