Tottenham Hotspur fans won’t be surprised that several members of the first team could move on in January.

A report from AS in Spain suggests one player is already being considered for a move to La Liga.

Antonio Conte has made it clear he wants ready-made additions to his squad, particularly in attack.

Unfortunately, this means that his current back-up forwards aren’t up to scratch.

Lucas Moura has failed to make much of an impact in a Spurs shirt this season.

He’s also struggled with injuries, and there are suggestions he could leave in the club in January.

However, the report from AS suggests Valencia are once again interested in signing Bryan Gil.

Gil has already spent six months on loan at the Mestalla, and was a popular figure among the fans.

The 21-year-old nearly joined the Spanish side again this summer, but Conte blocked the move.

Now, it appears as though Gil could finally get the move he wants after spending much of this season on the bench.

Valencia interested in Gil once again

The report suggests Valencia are keen to bring in Gil on loan once again, and he would be ‘delighted to return to Mestalla’.

The winger has played less than 100 minutes of football under Conte this season.

Despite that, Conte is still a big fan of Gil’s and believes he’s got a big future ahead of him.

“I am sure about Gil’s future because we are talking about a player who sees football,” Conte said, via Football London.

“If I have to compare Gil with someone, maybe I can see him like Bernardo Silva at [Manchester] City.”

The £80k-a-week winger’s physicality has been questioned by Conte, but Gil still has time to bulk up.

Conte will want to bring in a replacement before sanctioning any move for the Spaniard.

However, with Valencia interested in Gil, and the player keen to move, a loan deal looks on the cards.
