Adama Traore, Daniel James and the strange Tottenham case of Bryan Gil and another Valencia move

Bryan Gil needs to play football this season but a third playing spell back in Spain seems like a move that is not going to do much for his Tottenham career.

The 21-year-old is one of Spain's brightest young talents but a year on from his big summer of 2021 move to Spurs, he has a sum total of 86 Premier League minutes to his name across nine brief substitute appearances.

It's worth remembering that Barcelona scout German Vaya Ballabriga said of Gil the season before Tottenham snapped him up: "Right now he is Spain's best footballer and I compare him with Neymar. He can do certain things and has great versatility, as he can play at full-back, in the middle or on the left wing. It's impressive. I have spoken with [Barcelona's sporting director] Raman Planes about him and he has Bryan Gil in mind."
