With Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski absent with injuries and Lucas Moura only recently returning to fitness, Spurs are still looking for a third attacker to feature in Antonio Conte's favoured 3-4-3. Bryan Gil has been an unused substitute in most Premier League games this season, but two impressive Champions League cameos have made him a reliable option for the Italian manager.
The Spaniard came on for the final five minutes of the 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt a fortnight ago, winning a penalty with some excellent footwork which Kane ultimately blazed over. Following on from impressing briefly against the current Europa League champions, Gil received another opportunity against Sporting CP this past Wednesday.
With just under 20 minutes of normal time to spare, Gil was introduced in place of Matt Doherty and once again showed flashes of why Fabio Paratici engineered his move to the club.
