Ahead of Tottenham’s clash with Paços de Ferreira tonight, Football London have given the lowdown on preparations behind the scenes.
What’s the story?
Well, Spurs are currently training in Nuno Espirito Santo’s homeland of Portugal ahead of their first ever UEFA Conference League game.
Football London have shared who might play, who will be absent, and how training has gone ahead of the clash, where some interesting information was revealed.
Alasdair Gold claims that Bryan Gil, Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso were spotted training together, where the Spaniard was seen playfully kicking Tottenham’s new £42.5m defender up the backside.
Football London described Gil as looking confident, as he attempts to gel with his new teammates at Spurs.
Gold confidently added that Gil will make his debut against Paços de Ferreira.
Good to see Bryan Gil settling in
As a 20-year-old coming into a new country, during a global pandemic no less, things must be strange for Gil.
However, it seems like he’s found a group to help him settle into life in N17.
Football London believe the £27.2m man Lo Celso has taken Romero under his wing, acting as his personal translator, and it seems the Argentine is also making Gil feel welcome too.
It’s hardly groundbreaking stuff, but the fact Tottenham’s new No.11 feels comfortable enough to playfully kick his teammate suggests he’s not exactly acting timid in his new surroundings.
It’s imperative for Nuno to make him feel settled quickly, as Tottenham have a genuine wonderkid on their hands.
Gil hasn’t been likened to Neymar for nothing.
Once he gets out onto the pitch, Tottenham fans will see just what all the fuss is about.
