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.

Spurs Web Opinion

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.

The post Report makes exciting claim about Postecoglou’s plan for Bryan Gil at Spurs appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gil is yet to play a single minute under his new Tottenham boss thanks to an injury he picked up before pre-season training even began.

In fact, the Spaniard has found North London game time hard to come by ever since he joined Tottenham, having been sent out on multiple loan spells back in La Liga.

However, with the recent injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic on the left side of attack, Gil could find himself with opportunities to break into the starting XI once he is up to fitness.

Postecoglou has used a number of options on that side so far this season, including Solomon, Perisic, Heung-min Son, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson – who has also just returned from injury.

Postecoglou sounds like a fan of Bryan Gil

Postecoglou said (Football London): “He [Gil] can be really important for us. He’s one like I said the last couple of weeks it has been great to have him just working really hard at training.

“He’s missed all of this season so far and it’s well chronicled that we lost Ivan and Manor who play in that left-wing position. Having Bryan fit and available again is great for us.

On Lo Celso, he added: “He is obviously very highly regarded with the Argentinian set-up because they always call him up and he played in both games.

“He didn’t play significant minutes but he played in both and played 15-20 in the second game. It is great for him and his confidence.”

Spurs Web Opinion:

Bryan Gil could get a real chance to stake a claim on that left-wing spot with Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic out. Of course, he will still have to push hard and compete with Brennan Johnson, Richarlison and even Heung-min Son, but Postecoglou seems to like him.

The post ‘He can be really important for us’ – Postecoglou makes exciting Bryan Gil statement appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The Spanish international joined Tottenham in July 2021 from Sevilla, with Erik Lamela joining the Spanish side in a swap-plus-£21.6m cash deal, however, his time in North London has not exactly gone to plan having failed to break into the first team (The Athletic).

Gil has previously admitted that he struggled with the physical demands of playing in England during his first year at the club compared to what he had been used to back in La Liga (Football.London).

The talented winger departed Tottenham for a second time in January having returned to former club Sevilla on loan, where he helped the side to win the Europa League having previously joined Valencia the year before.

Does Bryan Gil have a future at Tottenham?

Gil started the current campaign injured, having missed the opportunity to impress Ange Postecoglou on the pre-season tour and instead remained back at Hotspur Way and had to undergo surgery in August in a bid to rectify a groin issue, the club confirmed in a brief statement.

The report claims that while the 22-year-old was originally one of a number of fringe players that Tottenham were focusing on getting out of the door along with Eric Dier, Hugo Lloris and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, they may now have to reconsider due to the injuries suffered by Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic.

Solomon suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in training this week and had surgery to fix the issue last Thursday while Perisic a sustained a complex Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in his right knee and also went under the knife.

SpursWeb Opinion

Tottenham must decide whether the arrival of Brennan Johnson is enough to allow the club to move on Gil during the January window, or look to replace him on a permanent basis.

With no European football or Carabao Cup fixtures ahead, it looks like Gil will have little opportunity to play and force his way into Postecoglou’s plans unless Totte nham’s injuries continue toworsen on the left side.

The post Report: Spurs may rethink plan to offload £21.6m player in January appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gil has not kicked a ball for Tottenham for nine months, having spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla. The winger picked up a groin injury at the start of pre-season, which meant that Ange Postecoglou could not get a closer look at him.

However, the Spaniard has now recovered from the problem and he took his place on the bench in Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Luton Town on Saturday.

The injuries to Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, and Brennan Johnson mean that Postecoglou is short of options in the attacking areas, and Gil could thus have a prominent role to play over the coming weeks.

Bryan Gil could depart Spurs in January

However, The Times have claimed that the winger could be one of several players who could depart N17 in January.

The report states that the North London club will focus on shifting fringe players when the transfer window reopens, with Gil potentially set to follow the likes of Eric Dier, Hugo Lloris, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg out of the door.

Spurs Web Opinion

Gil’s future will likely depend on how well he does when opportunities come his way over the next couple of months. If he does well, I would not put it past him to establish himself as a fixture in Postecoglou’s starting eleven.

However, if he is to struggle, I can see Spurs potentially offloading him permanently in January rather than sending him out on loan again.

The post Report: Tottenham are willing to offload 22-year-old in January  appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like Postecoglou had an embarrassment of riches in attack but the Australian is currently struggling for options as a result of a few injuries.

Ivan Perisic could potentially be out for the rest of the season after picking up an ACL injury while Manor Solomon faces three months on the sidelines after injuring his knee in training last week.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou is also without summer signing Brennan Johnson at the moment, although there is said to be hope within the club that the Wales international could be fit for the clash against Fulham on October 23 (The Athletic).

Gil could have an important role under Postecoglou

Football Insider suggest that the injury crisis at Spurs might pave the way for Gil to force himself into Postecoglou’s plans. The outlet states that the 22-year-old could come in from the cold and have a key role to play over the coming weeks.

This is because the Spain international, who recently recovered from his groin injury, is alleged to have ‘blown away’ Postecoglou with his displays in training.

Spurs Web Opinion

Gil certainly has the attributes to thrive in Postecoglou’s system. The 22-year-old was excellent when he was handed opportunities by Conte last season and his direct and aggressive style is something that the Spurs head coach will like. 

The post Report: Postecoglou has been ‘blown away’ by Spurs 22-year-old in training appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The injury list has grown considerably for Spurs over the last week, with the likes of Rodgiro Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso being joined recently on the treatment table by Ivan Perisic, Brennan Johnson and Manor Solomon.

The Athletic have now backed up what we have already heard from other sources about Johnson’s injury, explaining that the winger’s issue is not as serious as some others’.

They claim that the club are hopeful that the 22-year-old will be back for the clash against Fulham on October 23.

Bryan Gil expected to return to Spurs match squad

The outlet also provides some positive news on Gil, stating that the Spaniard is expected to be part of the matchday squad at Kenilworth Road.

The winger has been out with a groin injury since the start of pre-season but with the attackers currently missing for Tottenham, it looks like the former Sevilla man could be in line for his first appearance of the season on Saturday.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Gil is not fit enough to make the bench, Postecoglou would have to turn to youngsters like Alejo Veliz and Jamie Donley on the bench. With neither Maddison nor Son now seemingly 100 per cent, we are now dangerously short of attacking options at the moment.

Bryan Gil has not had an easy time of it since joining Tottenham back in 2021. The young Spaniard has struggled to hold down a regular first-team spot in North London, and has had to make do with a couple of loan spells over the last year.

With opportunities hard to come by under Antonio Conte, Gil spent time back in Spain with both Valencia and his former club, Sevilla. The winger did his reputation a world of good out there, too, and could have ended up moving to Spain permanently this summer (Corriere dello Sport 02/06/23 as relayed by Sport Witness).

Ultimately, after suffering from a back injury for a while, Gil took the decision to undergo surgery this summer, thus ending any chances of a move away from Spurs.

Gil could fit into Postecoglou’s Spurs system

That may well be a blessing in disguise, if Ange Postecoglou‘s latest words are anything to go by. In a press conference today (via Football.London), the Spurs boss has been discussing the merits of having Gil back to full fitness soon, especially given the recent injury to Ivan Perisic.

He said: “He’s been a bit unfortunate in that, pretty much since the start of pre-season, he’s had a couple of injuries that haven’t allowed him to train with the team. He had a good year last year away from here and he certainly plays in a position where guys with his attributes can fit into our structure.

“It’ll be good to see Bryan getting up to speed over the next couple of weeks, training with the team and then, obviously with Ivan going down, we’re one down in those wide areas so having him at the club is certainly beneficial.”

Spurs Web Opinion

If it wasn’t for that injury and surgery, I reckon Gil would have left the club this summer. But, it could all work out nicely now, especially if he can come into the team and perform how we know he can. Postecoglou will know how to utilise him, and he could be like a new signing for us.

The post ‘Fit into our structure’ – Postecoglou is excited to get Bryan Gil back for Spurs appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gil has been out since the start of pre-season but Gold stated that the winger is expected to be available for selection immediately after stepping up his recovery.

The journalist confirmed what had been reported already about James Maddison, stating that Spurs are confident he will be fit to play against Liverpool.

He also added that Brennan Johnson has been training on the grass this week after coming off with a tight hamstring against Arsenal, with the 22-year-old said to have been closely monitored by the club this week.

Tottenham are trying to get their players back soon

Gold explains that Rodrigo Bentancur has now been ‘gradually increasing’ his involvement in first-team training sessions and hopes to be back in action before November.

He also provided some positive news on Ryan Sessegnon’s injury, revealing that the 23-year-old has now resumed some light training following his hamstring surgery and could be back in action in a ‘few weeks’.

However, Gold does not provide much clarity on Giovani Lo Celso’s recovery, simply stating that the Argentine is hoping to be involved ‘sooner rather than later’.

Spurs Web Opinion

It sounds like Maddison is expected to start against Liverpool tomorrow while Gil might make the bench for the first time this season.

I would be surprised if Postecoglou risks Johnson, particularly given that he has Solomon at his disposal. The Israeli international might quite enjoy coming up against Trent Alexander-Arnold in one vs one situations.

Two La Liga clubs eyeing moves for Spurs’ Bryan Gil

Fichajes.net claim that the Australian coach ‘does not count’ on Gil and Spurs have decided to offload the winger in January. The player is said to be on the radars of Sociedad and Valencia, who are both in need of reinforcements in the wide areas.

It is explained that Sociedad are plotting a move for the Tottenham man if Real Madrid exercise their option to buy back Take Kubo while Valencia want the Spain international to fill the void left by Samu Lino’s departure to Atletico Madrid in the summer.

The publication adds that both clubs will explore an initial loan deal for Gil with an option to make it permanent next summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

I initially did not expect Gil to get any game time at Spurs until January but Ivan Perisic’s ACL injury might offer the Spaniard a lifeline. I can now see the 22-year-old getting some minutes as an impact sub and if he does, it would be up to him to impress Postecoglou.

The post Report: Two La Liga sides are eyeing January moves for Spurs attacker appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Following the acquisition of Brennan Johnson, Ange Postecoglou has an embarrassment of riches in the forward line, with the Welshman competing with the likes of Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic for three positions.

The 22-year-old has been out of action since the start of pre-season with a groin problem, which means that the new Spurs head coach has not really been able to get a closer look at him in training.

Alasdair Gold admitted in a Q&A on Football.London last week that he is ‘fascinated’ to see whether Gil will get game time, with the journalist opining that the Spaniard ‘fits nicely’ into the way that Postecoglou wants his wingers to play.

Spurs Web Opinion

Following Johnson’s arrival, I do not see how Gil is going to get any minutes, even as a substitute, particularly given that Spurs are out of the Carabao Cup and have no European football this season.

The post Injured Tottenham man tells fans that he will be back in action ‘soon’ appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gil returned to Sevilla on loan during the last January transfer window and the winger impressed for Los Nervionenses, even earning a recall to the Spanish national team.

The 22-year-old would perhaps have been hoping to catch the eye of Ange Postecoglou when he returned to Spurs summer but those hopes were dashed when he picked up a groin injury that sidelined him right from the start of pre-season.

The silky winger does not appear to be far away from a return to action as he took to social media last week to confirm that he is now nearing full fitness.

According to L’Equipe, Lyon tried to sign Gil on loan during transfer deadline day but failed to do so owing to ‘financial or timing reasons’.

Erik Lamela would love to play with Bryan Gil again

It remains to be seen if another potential loan move is on the cards for the youngster in January and Lamela has now said that he would certainly welcome the player’s return to the Raman Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

When asked about Gil potentially returning to Seville, the former Tottenham man told Estadio Deportivo: “I would love it, for the person he is. He’s a great teammate, we get on great.”

Spurs Web Opinion

While Gil certainly has the attributes to do well in Postecoglou’s system, the Australian now has an embarrassment of riches in the wide areas following the arrival of Brennan Johnson. 

With Spurs having no European football and out of the Carabao Cup, I do not see the 22-year-old getting many minutes over the coming months. So, another loan move in January appears likely for the winger.

Guglielmo Vicario even sprinted the length of the pitch in a matter of seconds to celebrate with his teammates.

A video on the YouTube channel Football is Life shows that it was also absolute chaos on the Tottenham bench, with Son Heung-min, Fraser Forster, Ben Davies and Micky van de Ven sprinting at full pelt onto the pitch.

Spurs fever is running through the entire squad

A video on Spurs PLAY now shows the reaction of the players who were not in the matchday squad.

While Veliz vigorously pushed and pulled the advertising hoardings in front of him, nearly breaking it in the process, Giovani Lo Celso and Rodrigo Bentancur were in disbelief, repeatedly pumping their fists in the air.

Bryan Gil was in absolute shock while Ashley Phillips and Brandon Austin were also ecstatic. Watch the video by clicking here.

Gil would have perhaps felt hard done by at his lack of opportunities under Antonio Conte and the winger, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla, would have hoped to make an impression on Ange Postecoglou during pre-season.

However, his hopes of doing so were quashed when he picked up a groin injury that sidelined him right from the start of pre-season.

According to L’Equipe, Lyon tried to sign the 22-year-old on loan during transfer deadline day but failed to do so owing to ‘financial or timing reasons’.

A few days ago, the Spain international took to social media to confirm that he will be back in action soon, and Gold has now suggested that the tricky wide-man can force himself into the team.

Bryan Gil will be looking to earn a Tottenham chance

The journalist said in a Q&A on Football.London: “Gil can play on either flank. I’m fascinated to see whether he can force his way into Postecoglou’s thinking.

“There’s a lot of competition now for those wide spots but the little Spaniard will fit nicely into the way the Australian wants his players to play. It’s all about whether he gets the minutes to show it though.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Gil is certainly more direct and aggressive in taking on his man compared to Kulusevski and Son, which is something Ange wants to see from his wide players.

However, with Tottenham not in Europe and out of the Carabao Cup, the 22-year-old will likely struggle to get any game time over the coming months.

Almost all footballers tend to complain about some of their ratings being too low whenever a new FIFA game rolls out and Gil is no different.

The winger has not kicked a ball since returning from his loan spell at Sevilla in the summer, having picked up a groin injury just before the start of pre-season.

The 22-year-old admitted a few days ago that he is now close to returning to action and will be hoping to make a good impression on new boss, Ange Postecoglou, on the training ground.

However, in the meantime, the Spain international is far from happy with the attributes that he has been handed by EA FC.

Bryan Gil is not too happy with EA Sports

As expected, Gil was handed a high score for dribbling (81) but the Tottenham man will be disappointed with some of his other scores as he was given 75 for pace, 67 for shooting, 74 for passing, 31 for defending and 41 for physical.

The winger took to Instagram stories (via talkSPORT) to post a screenshot of his card along with the caption: “What is this, please” accompanied by a selection of bemused and laughing emojis.

Gil’s club and international teammate, Pedro Porro voiced his support to the attacker, also posting the former Sevilla man’s card, alongside the following caption: “What a player @Bryan11gil.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Players being unhappy with their FIFA scores is certainly nothing new and one can understand why Gil would be upset, particularly with the ratings for his passing and his pace, with the winger being reasonably quick and a very good crosser of the ball.

Bryan Gil says he will be back for Spurs ‘soon’

The Spain international posted on social media that he was getting ‘closer and closer’ to a return last week and he has now hinted that it is only a matter of time before he is back available.

This is what the winger has now posted:

Spurs Web Opinion

Gil actually possesses some characteristics that Postecoglou would love. While he is not as strong as Kulusevsli, he is much more aggressive and direct than the Swede in one vs one situations.  However, with Johnson also being added to the squad, it seems quite unlikely that the former Sevilla man will get game time.

While transfer deadline day did prove to be a busy one for Spurs, the club failed to offload some of their unwanted players before the 11 pm deadline, with Eric Dier, Hugo Lloris, and Davinson Sanchez remaining at N17 after the window had slammed shut.

Gil was also linked with a late move away from Hotspur Way, with some Spanish outlets suggesting that Sevilla were keen on re-signing the winger on loan for the remainder of the campaign (ABC Sevilla via Sport Witness).

Lyon made deadline day move for Bryan Gil

It has now emerged that Lyon failed with a late move for the Tottenham winger on Friday.

The Ligue 1 side signed Chelsea’s Diego Moreira on loan on deadline day but L’Equipe claim that they first explored moves for Gil and Everton’s Demarai Gray before turning their attention to the Blues youngster.

The publication suggests that the deal for the Tottenham man fell through due to ‘financial or timing reasons’.

Spurs Web Opinion

I was surprised that Tottenham did not loan out Gil, particularly with Brennan Johnson arriving through the door on deadline day. While the Spaniard does have attributes that Postecoglou will like, he is unlikely to get too many opportunities, given the various wide options that the Australian now has at his disposal.

Things haven’t exactly gone to plan for Bryan Gil since he arrived at Tottenham from Sevilla in 2021. For the majority of his stay in North London, the young Spaniard has been forced to watch from the sidelines.

In the last two years, Gil has spent time back in Spain, completing loan spells with Valencia, and his former club Sevilla.

Tottenham Hotspur FC/Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty Images

The 22-year-old has been back at Spurs this summer and has been attempting to impress his new manager, Ange Postecoglou. It has even been suggested that the winger ‘ticks a lot of boxes’ for the Australian coach (Football.London). 

It had been reported that Gil could end up back at Sevilla for the season ahead, with the La Liga side hopeful of reuniting with their former star according to ABC Sevilla (via Sport Witness).

However, the chances of a move away were reduced when it was announced Gil had undergone surgery at the start of August to resolve an ongoing injury (The Athletic).

Bryan Gil is on his way back from injury at Spurs

While the recovery time was expected to be around two months, it seems Gil is making good progress. The Spurs man shared a post to his Instagram revealing a happy smile and a positive message for the fans.

It will be interesting to see how Gil fits into Postecoglou’s plans, if at all. I am curious as to whether he would still be at the club had he been fully fit and able to join another team this summer.

The attacking midfielder had no issues making the step up to the Premier League last season, managing 10 goals and three assists across all competitions (Transfermarkt).

This is not the first time that the 22-year-old has been mooted as a target for Spurs, with Football Insider reporting back in April that the Lilywhites were keeping tabs on the player.

The Daily Mail also subsequently stated last month that Johnson was on Tottenham’s radar but the publication asserted that North London club would be reluctant to meet Forest’s £50m valuation of the youngster.

Spurs exploring a part-exchange deal for Johnson

If The Telegraph’s latest update is to be believed, Spurs have now come up with a strategy to bring down the price by offering some of their players to Forest.

The report states that Tottenham ‘remain interested’ in Johnson and are now ‘weighing up’ an offer for the versatile attacker.

The outlet claim that Spurs have contacted Forest and given them a choice of signing Spence, Rodon and Gil as part of any deal for the Wales international.

Spurs Web Opinion

While I can understand Spurs offering Spence and Rodon, I am surprised that the club are willing to offload Gil. The Spaniard’s characteristics suit the way Postecoglou wants to play and I can see the winger thriving under the Australian if he gets opportunities.

After a spell with Valencia at the back end of the 2021/22 campaign, Gil then joined his former club, Sevilla, on loan last term. He made 24 appearances for the Spanish side, scoring two goals and registering three assists (Transfermarkt).

With his loan deal at an end, Gil has returned to North London and is hoping to impress new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.

Any attempt to do that, however, will have to wait, after the club confirmed the 22-year-old required surgery for a back problem.

Bryan Gil expects to be back from injury soon

Speaking to AS (via Sport Witness) about the injury, his decision to undergo surgery, and when he intends to be back in action, Gil appeared hopeful that the treatment would have the desired effect.

He said: “It was my decision. They recommended that I stop, because sooner or later it would give me problems. I was fit to play, with discomfort, and I wanted to take advantage of my short spell with Sevilla.

“The important thing now is that the doctors have told me that everything has gone well and, in a few weeks, I will be recovered from both discomforts. What I have had operated on has been some discomfort that I was dragging in the pubis.

“But I have made the decision now because I suffered a small fissure in the sacrum that was going to keep me out for a few weeks, so I have taken advantage of this period of sick leave to undergo surgery.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It sounds like Gil found the perfect opportunity to get the surgery done and hopefully, this will put an end to his injury issues.

If he is staying at Spurs for the season – as appears to be the case – it will be interesting to see how much game time he gets and whether he can make the most of any opportunities he is given.

Spurs originally signed Bryan Gil from Sevilla back in 2021. The Lilywhites paid £21.6m for the youngster, and also sent Erik Lamela to Spain as part of the deal (Sky Sports).

Things have not quite gone to plan for Gil during his time in North London, however, with the Spaniard being restricted to watching his team from the bench and making cameo appearances late on in games.

Over the last two years, Gil has also spent time back in Spain for loan spells with Valencia, and his former club Sevilla.

It is believed that Gil ‘ticks a lot of boxes’ in terms of what new Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou looks for in attackers (Football.London). However, the 22-year-old has been unable to show his coach what he can do due to a back injury.

Sevilla want Gil, but he wants to impress at Spurs

According to a new report from ABC Sevilla (via Sport Witness), Sevilla are hopeful they can bring Bryan Gil back to La Liga, but the player intends to impress his new manager at Spurs.

Apparently, we should watch closely in the “final stretch of the transfer window” when a deal could be achieved for Gil. The report claims Sevilla have a “lack of talent” in attacking areas and see their former player as the answer to that problem.

It is said that Gil wants to “convince” Ange Postecoglou that he can be valuable to Tottenham in the new regime but finding game time for the young winger will be “difficult.”

With this in mind, the “solution” may come at the end of the summer for Gil in the form of a move back to Sevilla.

The matter is of course complicated by Gil’s injury issues right now, with Tottenham Hotspur revealing the player is set for surgery that will keep him out of action for the next two months.

Regardless, Spurs and Sevilla were “yet to agree a loan deal” and it is believed the North London side would be “keen to get the maximum return” for Gil if they did let him go.

Spurs Web Opinion

Bryan Gil is unlikely to be going anywhere now this summer, and Sevilla will have to look elsewhere for reinforcements to their squad. Hopefully, he can recover from this injury and get some opportunities with Spurs soon.
