In a player-plus-cash agreement, Spurs paid Sevilla £21.4 million in addition to Erik Lamela to acquire Gil (The Guardian, July 26, 2021).
The now 23-year-old has been in North London for nearly three years, but he hasn’t really made an impression at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
During his time with Tottenham, Gil has been sent out on loan twice. He has only made 42 appearances for the North London team, and he has only provided two assists.
Wenham thinks Gil’s time with Ange Postecolgou may be coming to an end this summer because he hasn’t played much this season and was rumored to be leaving in January.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Wenham, the founder of reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, said: “I think it is time for Gil to finally move on from Tottenham.
“He stayed around in January, but that appears to have been a mistake.
“It is likely he will see very little game time between now and the end of the season, with just 12 Premier League games left.
Will Bryan Gil leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer?
Sometimes things just don’t work out between a player and a club, and that appears to be the case for Gil and Tottenham.
It is hard to pinpoint what exactly has gone wrong for Gil in the Premier League, but it is clear that he just isn’t the right fit for English football or Postecoglou.
He is clearly a talented player, having played a part in Sevilla’s UEFA Europa League success while on loan with his former club during the 2022/23 season, although that talent hasn’t been apparent at Tottenham.
With the competition high for spaces out wide at Spurs, it appears that Gil might be the player to make way this summer.
In other Tottenham news, Wenham is a “fan” of one Spurs-linked player previously pictured in the club’s colours.
