Bryan Gil now looks set to remain a Tottenham player ahead of Thursday evening's 11pm transfer deadline. Excelling for Valencia in the second part of last season, the 21-year-old was heavily tipped to return to the Mestalla once again so that he could feature regularly with first-team opportunities set to be limited for him in north London.
Speaking last weekend, Valencia boss Gennaro Gattuso admitted that the deal was practically there and it would go through once Tottenham had brought in a replacement for the Spain Under-21s star. However, that has not happened and it means Gil will be part of Antonio Conte's squad and provide cover for the likes of Son Heung-min and Co in attack.
As a result, Roma's Justin Kluivert, who was set to sign for Fulham but was denied a UK work permit, will instead sign on for Los Che after they missed out on Gil. Flourishing back in his home country in the final few months of last season, it appears that Gil had his heart set on a return to the club in his bid to play regularly.
