AS have claimed that Ange Posteocoglou is a fan of Bryan Gil and that the winger could have an important role to play at Tottenham over the coming months.

Gil made his first appearance of the season at Selhurst Park on Friday, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute as Spurs emerged with a 2-1 win.

According to the AS, the winger has come ‘out of hell’, having suffered plenty of ‘agony’ owing to his injury troubles since the start of the summer.

The report claims that Gil’s return is not just a cause of celebration for Spurs but also for the Spanish national side.

Ange Postecoglou is a big fan of Bryan Gil at Spurs

AS asserts that Postecoglou ‘likes’ the former Sevilla man, which is why he refused to give the green light for the player to leave on loan in the summer.

The outlet adds that the 22-year-old’s role at Spurs ‘won’t be superfluous’ over the coming months, with the Tottenham head coach prepared to ‘wait patiently’ for the silky left-footer to come back to full fitness.

While the injuries to Solomon and Perisic were unfortunate, the silver lining to that is the fact that Gil now has a chance to rescue his Tottenham career. 

I certainly would not put it past the Spaniard to nail down a starting birth, given the promise he showed when he was handed opportunities by Conte last season.
