Chelsea fans demand Sergio Reguilon signing after Europa League heroics
Chelsea are keen to bring in a new left-back in the summer transfer window.
Neither Marcos Alonso nor Emerson Palmieri has been convincing this season. While Leicester City star Ben Chilwell is the club’s top target, the Blues have also been looking at alternatives.
One of them is Real Madrid star Sergio Reguilon. Currently, on loan at Sevilla, the Spaniard has enjoyed a successful season at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. His performances saw him get named as the Spanish top-flight’s best left-back.
The 23-year-old was at it once again against Manchester United in the Europa League semifinals. With his side 1-0 down, he provided a pinpoint low drive across the field for Suso to draw Sevilla level.
Reguilon also showed off his defensive prowess as he kept both Mason Greenwood and Aaron Wan-Bissaka quiet. His off-the-ball movement was also a pleasure to watch as the Spaniard showcased his development at Sevilla.
Although the same age as Chilwell, Reguilon will cost lesser than his English counterpart. In fact, he also has more experience of playing in Europe compared to Chilwell.
A number of Chelsea fans were left impressed with Reguilon’s display against United. They believe he will represent better value than Chilwell.
We take a look at some of their replies below.
Chelsea fans take to Twitter demanding Sergio Reguilon signing
I don’t want chilwell at chelsea. Reguilon is cheaper and better than chilwell

Reguilon, left back from Sevilla, will cost 25-40M maximum and his play style fits better to Chelsea. So active on the wing in attack because of great passing skills and good in defence.

Why should Chelsea still be thinking of signing Chiwell? Reguilon is better and cheaper, stop wasting money on overhyped English players

Yesterday’s game of Sevilla vs Man utd shows how Chelsea need to sign left back, Sergio Reguilon.

I agree with fellow passionate fans that, It’d be insane not to sign him.
Foe me, I’d sign him over Ben Chilwell. Cheaper and more flair
Get Reguilon not Chiwell let this deal be confirmed. #Chelsea

I wish Chelsea could get Reguilon instead of Chillwell. Heard it was a possibility last week as their second option if Leicester don’t give in. He was rated just 18 million, massive bonus for us.

Chelsea should try to sign Reguilon instead of Chilwell. He’s just as good if not better than Chilwell and is available for less than half the price

Reguilon is going to be a real case for Premier League clubs if Chelsea sign him over Chilwell #Reguilon #CFC
