Tottenham are offering out-of-favour attacking midfielder Bryan Gil to various suitors ahead of the transfer deadline on September 1, as they look to find a new home for the Spaniard.
While some squad members have discovered a new lease of life under Thomas Frank, especially Richarlison, the likes of Gil haven’t been given a chance to showcase their worth to the Dane.
After spending 2024/2025 on loan at Girona in La Liga, where he was a mainstay under Michel before injury ended his season, the former Sevilla sensation still hasn’t recovered or played a single minute for Frank.
Bar his devastating injury, the signs were positive for Gil last season, with the player bagging three goals and three assists over 21 top-flight starts for Girona – ending 24/25 as their third-best performer by average match rating, according to WhoScored.
Still just 24-years-old and dubbed a “very exciting” player on his day, there is still a chance that Gil can make something of his career, but it probably won’t be at Tottenham.
Speaking to Estadio Deportivo earlier this year, Gil admitted that he and Spurs are in full agreement that a move elsewhere is best for all parties.
“That’s something my agent will tell me where things are going, but they [Spurs] told me, and I told them, that the best thing is for us not to continue being linked to Tottenham,” said Gil.
“They bet on me when I was young, and they’ve treated me fairly well, but if I have to go back there, I’ll focus on giving my best as always. I’m calm because no one can have a bad word to say about me not being professional. Without playing, I’ve always trained well, I’ve done what I had to do, so whatever has to happen, will happen. We’ll see where we are next year.”
Four years after Gil was signed for around £22 million with Erik Lamela going the other way in a part-exchange deal, technical director Johan Lange is getting to work on finding him a new club.
Tottenham offer Bryan Gil to Atalanta amid Ademola Lookman discussions
According to The Boy Hotspur, Tottenham have offered Gil to numerous sides, including Atalanta, which is particularly interesting because it comes amid Spurs’ links to Ademola Lookman.
Other reports suggest that Lookman’s representatives have reached out to Spurs as they look to entice Premier League suitors, with the Nigerian fresh off a 20-goal campaign in Italy and desperate to leave.
Lookman submitted a transfer request to leave the Gewiss Stadium, as confirmed by the player himself, and his talks to join Inter Milan have now fully collapsed – meaning Spurs have a real opportunity here.
“I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right and I feel that enough is enough,” Lookman wrote on social media.
“I can confirm I have now handed in a formal transfer request.”
Amid reports that Man City are blocking Savinho’s move to Tottenham, the 27-year-old is a very viable alternative, and perhaps the north Londoners offering Gil in exchange could sweeten a potential deal.
Otherwise, Tottenham would have to fork out around £43 million.
