Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Tottenham Hotspur winger Bryan Gil will join Valencia in the January transfer window.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Tottenham and Valencia have agreed on a loan deal for Gil.

The Spain international winger will sign a loan deal in the coming hours after Tottenham complete the loan signing of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus.

Romano has added that Tottenham are in advanced talks with Lyon over sending midfielder Tanguy Ndombele to the French club.

Disappointment for Tottenham and Bryan Gil

In our view, Gil leaving Tottenham for Valencia even on a loan deal is a disappointment for the player and for Spurs.

Yes, the winger is likely to get more playing time at the La Liga club than he would have at Spurs, but he will not get to work with Conte on a regular basis.

Would Gil come back from Valencia in the summer of 2022 a better player?

Would the former Sevilla youngster become so good that he would be able to impress Conte straightaway in pre-season training?

Moreover, Gil moved to Tottenham from Sevilla only in the summer of 2021 and £21.6 million (Sky Sports).

In our view, it must be disappointing for both Tottenham and Gil that he has to go out on loan to Valencia so soon after joining.
