Tottenham Hotspur appears to be on the verge of landing 20-year-old Bryan Gil from Sevilla FC, seeing Erik Lamela and €25m-million heading the other way to the Spanish club.
The Daily Mail’s Pete Jenson put together a piece dissecting the potential deal from a Tottenham perspective. The English journalist wrote that the 20-year-old has some Darren Anderton in his game.
Jenson touched on Gil’s loan stint with SD Eibar last season, where the young forward was one of the squad’s best players. Gil’s 2020-21 season rewarded him with a look for the Spain national team but didn’t make the cut for the UEFA Euros, but Gil will be representing Spain at the Tokyo Olympics.
Furthermore, Jenson highlights the potential that Sevilla supporters see in Gil, which is why some aren’t happy with the sale. The La Liga side wants to win the league and compete in UEFA Champions League, so some question how many minutes Gil will receive this season.
Nonetheless, it seems as though Sevilla’s loss will be Tottenham’s gain should Gil reach his potential.
