The winter transfer market is in full swing and Bryan Gil's career could once again take an unexpected turn. The Barbate left winger is on the verge of leaving Tottenham, just as he did in previous seasons when he was loaned out to Valencia and Sevilla. This time the reason for his possible departure is Tottenham's acquisition of Timo Werner, which will further strengthen the offensive line.
Despite Son's departure for the Asian Cup, coach Postecoglou appears ready to part ways with Gil, who has a tempting offer on the table from Fiorentina. Physical injuries and a lack of consistent playing time have hampered the Spain international during his time in the Premier League. This season he has only taken part in eight league games, neither scoring any goals nor providing any assists.
In recent games, even after recovering from injury, Gil has had limited minutes on the field or even come off the bench. His last appearance was for 33 minutes in the FA Cup against Burnley and he has not started since the game against Manchester City at the Etihad, where he was substituted at half-time.
Does not adapt to the tactical system
Although Postecoglou prefers attacking and creative players like Gil, the Spaniard has struggled to adapt to English football under different coaches. The Australian coach also failed to exploit Gil's potential, which led him to strengthen the team with Timo Werner, thereby signaling the possible departure of the Spanish talent who could soon end up in Serie A, according to the newspaper There is several Italian clubs interested in his loan.
