The Bryan Gil dilemma for Tottenham after Antonio Conte makes his feelings clear on young winger

Tottenham need to make a big decision over the future of Bryan Gil this summer less than a year after the Spaniard walked through the doors at Hotspur Way.

Spurs had tracked the 21-year-old winger for some time as he built a reputation as one of the most promising young players in Spain, his loan move from Sevilla to Eibar bringing him to the attention of many watching scouts. Gil was a shining light for the Spanish strugglers with his ability to dribble the ball and create chances, and he became only the second player born this century to score twice in the same La Liga game when he netted a brace against Granada.

Barcelona scout German Vaya Ballabriga said of Gil last season: "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."
