Spain U21 boss Luis De la Fuente has claimed that Tottenham winger Bryan Gil is flourishing at Valencia because of the trust shown in him by manager Jose Bordalas. The 21-year-old joined the La Liga side on loan in January after failing to settle at Spurs.
Antonio Conte opted to sign Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus as the Spaniard’s replacement on an 18 month loan deal and the Sweden star has shone with two goals and four assists in nine appearances. In stark contrast, Gil played a peripheral role in north London after failing to gain the confidence of Conte or former Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
Gil clocked up just 87 minutes of Premier League action spread over the course of nine matches before he returned to his homeland following a summer switch from Sevilla. However, De la Fuente is confident that the Spanish winger will return to his best form at Valencia under the watchful eye of Bordalas.
