Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on social media have been reacting after it was announced that Bryan Gil has signed from Sevilla.

The 20-year-old joins Spurs in a part-exchange deal that has seen Erik Lamela go the other way.

This is the second signing of the Nuno Espirito Santo era, and it’s fair to say that fans are excited by this one.

Fans were going wild after it was announced that Gil had signed, with one fan claiming that he’s the best youngster in the world, while another labelled him the next Lionel Messi.
