# Tottenham Hotspur: La Liga clubs pursuing Bryan Gil on loan

**According to a report by [Cadena Ser](https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2022/01/24/radio_san_sebastian/1643032887_903430.html) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-make-contact-tottenham-sign-forward-want-know-conditions-january-deal/)), Real Sociedad have made contact with Tottenham to ask about the possibility of signing Bryan Gil on a loan until the end of the season.**

This follows [previous reports](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-make-contact-tottenham-sign-forward-want-know-conditions-january-deal/) which indicated that Valencia are also hopeful of completing a loan deal with Spurs for the 20-year-old before the end of the January transfer window.

### The Lowdown: Struggling for game-time

Gil arrived at Hotspur Way six months ago in a deal worth [£21.6m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12364532/tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-fully-agree-swap-deal-with-sevilla-for-winger-bryan-gil-with-erik-lamela-to-join-spanish-side). However, due to a number of factors including a hamstring injury and a viral infection, he has made just [nine appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bryan-gil/profil/spieler/537382) for Tottenham in the Premier League, all of which have come as a substitute.

Disappointingly, in the [20 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bryan-gil/profil/spieler/537382) he has played for the club, the winger is yet to score, while his top-flight game-time under Conte amounts to [four substitute outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bryan-gil/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/537382/plus/0/saison/2021/verein/148/trainer_id/3517) totalling half an hour, with a token appearance at the end of Sunday’s 2-0 loss at Chelsea.

As a result, numerous clubs have enquired about the attacker’s availability, as the possibility of a loan deal this week looks increasingly feasible.

### The Latest: La Liga clubs pursuing Gil on loan

According to reports by [Cadena Ser](https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2022/01/24/radio_san_sebastian/1643032887_903430.html) (via [SportWitness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-make-contact-tottenham-sign-forward-want-know-conditions-january-deal/)), Real Sociedad have made an enquiry into the possibility of signing Gil on a loan deal until the end of the season, and Valencia have also [expressed a desire](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-make-contact-tottenham-sign-forward-want-know-conditions-january-deal/) to secure the winger on loan.

It is [believed](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-make-contact-tottenham-sign-forward-want-know-conditions-january-deal/) that Sociedad were interested in the 20-year-old whilst he was at Sevilla last year, but Tottenham put that interest to bed when they signed him on a permanent deal in July.

### The Verdict: A loan move would be beneficial

Spanish sports daily [Marca](https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/bryan-gil-eibars-little-cruyff-is-going-for-a-place-in-spains-euro-squad/) showered Gil with the highest of praise when he was called up to the senior national team, likening him to a ‘little Cruyff’. With such admiration for the youngster in his homeland, it seems that a loan move back to La Liga would make perfect sense for all parties involved.

Gaining first-team minutes would be invaluable for the winger, and this would allow Conte to assess the situation before bringing him back in to Spurs’ senior setup next season. Ideally, a loan arrangement can be struck before Monday’s deadline, as otherwise Gil could continue to be feeding off scraps under the Italian in N17.
