Tottenham Hotspur: Bryan Gil eyed for January loan exit

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Bryan Gil is being eyed for another loan move away from the club

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Bryan Gil is reportedly being eyed by Valencia for a January loan move.

The Lowdown: Gil's season so far

So far this season, the 21-year-old has made just six appearances for the Lilywhites across all competitions, all of which came from the substitutes' bench.

This suggests that he is not particularly high in Antonio Conte's pecking order, especially with just six minutes to his name in the Premier League.

With the January transfer window on the horizon, it appears that a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be on the cards for the Spaniard, who was dubbed a "young, quick, direct, clever" player by Kevin Campbell upon his arrival in north London 16 months ago.

The Latest: Gil eyed for January loan

According to recent reports from Spain, Gil is on Valencia's radar for a potential loan move once the January transfer window opens for business.

However, the report adds that Conte wants to bring in a replacement first before allowing the young Spaniard to leave N17.

The Verdict: Ideal for Gil

Given the lack of regular game-time he has had at Spurs this season, it could be argued that a move away on loan in January would be ideal for the 21-year-old, especially if he can start playing on a consistent basis.

Having gone to the Spanish club on loan during last January's transfer window, it's easy to see why Valencia have Gil on their radar for another potential move this winter.

Despite only providing one assist across his 13 La Liga appearances for Valencia last season, the Spurs gem still ended the campaign with the fourth-highest rate of shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (3.1) at the Mestalla.

If Conte can find a suitable replacement who has a better chance than Gil of breaking into the Tottenham team, then a loan exit for the youngster should be on the agenda before the January transfer window closes.
