Valencia are still interested in signing Tottenham winger Bryan Gil, according to La Razon (via HITC), and the winger himself wants to return to Spain.
Spurs loaned the £83,000-a-week player to Valencia last season, where he quickly became a fan favourite and the club were keen to re-sign him this summer but Spurs blocked his move last minute.
And while the club didn’t allow him to leave, they haven’t given much playing time this season either. Conte gave the youngster his first start of the season in last night’s 0-0 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to the report, Gil is unhappy at the club and crazy about a return to Valencia. Given the circumstances, La Razon believes Tottenham and Valencia will reach an agreement, though the Spanish news outlet does not specify whether the agreement will be a loan or a permanent move. The report does state the Spanish side ‘wants to sign him in January’.
Gil has only played 12 minutes of football this season, and Conte was seen yelling at him after he was outmuscled by Eintracht Frankfurt last night which must not be too helpful for the youngster’s confidence.
The way the situation around Gil has developed, it would not be a surprise for the player and the club to go separate ways. Gil’s growth and development at Spurs has come to a halt and it would be unjust for Spurs to keep him at the club against his will.
