Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will brutally show the door to Bryan Gil this summer for a massively-reduced asking price and amid claims a surprise move to the Netherlands is on the cards.
The 23-year-old attacker moved to north London in summer 2021, with Tottenham paying Sevilla a €25m (£21.6m) fee for the player and with Erik Lamela allowed to move in the opposite direction as part of the deal. Given Gil’s reputation at the time as being one of Spanish football’s brightest prospects, it looked like a shrewd move at the time by Levy and Co.However, the four-times capped Spain international has struggled to make his impact felt for Tottenham, appearing in just 42 appearances for the club across all competitions.And having been loaned out on two occasions – first to Valencia and then to former club Sevilla – Gil was given the chance to finally nail down a regular place under Ange Postecoglou this season.
The player, though, has struggled to nail down a regular place and with the likes of Heung-min Son, Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski all ahead of him in the pecking order. And having only made a total of 11 appearances – just two of which were starts – across the season, he has been further nudged down the pecking order after the January arrival of Timo Werner from Tottenham.
With the deal to make Werner’s loan at Spurs likely to become a permanent €20m move this summer, a report earlier this week revealed Levy had made it clear to Gill that he was free to leave the club on a permanent base- and with the club prepared to incur an eye.
