Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has praised Bryan Gil in Football.London after the match against Leicester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
Gil was an unused substitute for Tottenham in their 6-2 hammering of Leicester at home.
The 21-year-old Spain international winger has not made a single competitive appearance this season.
Antonio Conte on Tottenham Hotspur’s Bryan Gil
Conte said: ”To have Richarlison up front, with Harry, Sonny, Deki and also Lucas, then there is Gil, who is a good prospect and young, it means the situation gives me the possibility to have rotation.”
Disappointment ahead
In our view, Bryan Gil will struggle for playing time for Tottenham Hotspur in the coming weeks and months.
Yes, Conte rates the youngster highly, but the Tottenham head coach now has options in attack.
Lucas Moura is injured at the moment, but when he is back to full fitness, then Conte will surely have the Brazilian ahead of Gil in the pecking order.
We find it hard to see Gil get the nod ahead of Richarlison or Dejan Kulusevski in attack in any game.
We think that the Spain international could end up leaving Tottenham on loan in the January transfer window.
It would make sense really.
Gil is 21 now and is a Spain international, and for him to enhance his career, he needs to play regularly at club level.
