Report: A Ligue 1 club eyes Tottenham Hotspur forward Bryan Gil on a loan deal

When Tottenham Hotspur acquired Bryan Gil this past summer, they were banking on the potential the Spain international has to be the next wave of young talent to break through on the squad. However, the 20-year-old hasn’t had much playing time. 

This situation is where OGC Nice wants to take advantage of the situation. According to French media outlet L’Equipe (via Get French Football News), the Ligue 1 club hopes to grab the young forward on a loan deal. 

Gil has made 19 appearances for the Premier League club, where he’s not scored a goal and has one registered assist. This past summer, Tottenham acquired midfielder Pape Matar Sarr from FC Metz but let the teenager remain in France for the 2021-22 season.

It will be interesting to see whether Spurs decide to take that same approach and let Gil play a prominent role for a club that’s fighting for a UEFA Champions League spot for next season.
