Tottenham Hotspur winger Bryan Gil has been linked with a move away from the London club this summer.
It appears that Valencia are closing in on the capture of the 21-year-old Spanish winger on a loan deal.
The Spanish club’s manager Gennaro Gattuso has now hinted that Tottenham might be close to securing a new signing before letting the player leave.
Apparently, Spurs informed Valencia they will only let Gil leave if they can bring in a replacement.
Gattuso claims that the transfer is very close to completion which would imply that Spurs are very close to bringing in a replacement.
It will be interesting to see who comes in to replace the youngster this summer.
Gattuso said (via TMW): “For Bryan it’s done, Tottenham told us that 90-99% it is closed. two or three days, Spurs told us that before they let him go they must take a substitute. We are waiting for Tottenham to acquire a player in that role.”
Tottenham have been linked with the likes of Daniel James, Adama Traore and Anthony Gordon in recent weeks and all three players could prove to be quality additions for Antonio Conte.
Spurs will be hoping to challenge on all fronts this season and they have had an impressive transfer window so far. Bringing in another quality winger would certainly add to their depth and help them push the likes of Manchester City this season.
Tottenham showed immense improvement under Conte towards the end of last season and they have made a good start to the campaign so far.
