Bryan Gil sends a classy message to Tottenham fans despite nightmare time in N17

2 days ago 7

After securing a permanent exit from Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day, Bryan Gil has sent a heartwarming message, reflecting on his four years in North London.

Saying Gil’s time at Tottenham was disappointing would be a huge understatement. The winger arrived at Spurs in 2021 as one of the best young talents in Spanish football.

However, he leaves the club with just 42 appearances for Tottenham, only 11 of which came in the Premier League, with successive Spurs managers overlooking him and shipping him out on loan.

Gil sealed a permanent move to Girona in an £8.5m deal on Monday, returning to the Estadi Montilivi after his impressive loan spell at the club last term.

It would perhaps be understandable for the Spain international to be disgruntled with the way he was treated at Tottenham and leave quietly.

However, the 24-year-old has instead sent a classy message, thanking the club for everything he has learned over the last four years and insisting that he will always wish the best for Spurs in the future.

Gil’s message on Instagram reads: “It’s been four years since I first joined the club. Today our paths go different ways after a long time together, and I didn’t want to leave without saying thanks for everything I’ve learnt and for having the chance to be part of this club. I wish you and will always wish you all the best. @spursofficial.”

Gil will be keen to get his career back on track

The former Sevilla man has struggled for continuity over the last few years, playing for a different club on loan almost every single season.

According to reports over recent days, Gil had his heart set on a return to Girona, and the winger has now got the move he wanted and will continue playing under a manager who trusts him.

One would not put it past the 24-year-old to go from strength to strength and potentially even get back into the Spain squad, as there have never been any doubts over his raw ability.
