Tottenham Hotspur are back in England and preparing for their penultimate pre-season match, against Rangers on Saturday.

Spurs have just returned from their pre-season tour of South Korea. There, they beat Team K-League 6-3 and drew 1-1 with Sevilla.

Now, Tottenham have just two more friendlies – against Rangers and Roma – before their Premier League season begins against Southampton.

Antonio Conte has been putting his players through their paces at Hotspur Way ahead of their weekend trip to Glasgow.

The Spurs media team shared footage of their latest training session on YouTube.

And one Tottenham player with an uncertain future at the club delivered some impressive crosses. One of those earned praise from Harry Kane.

Bryan Gil continues to be linked with a move away from Spurs, with Sampdoria reportedly eyeing his services.

The 21-year-old spent the second half of last season with Valencia, where he thoroughly impressed.

Gil hasn’t really had a chance to impress following his Premier League move, despite Graham Roberts describing him as a ‘superstar‘ after one display.

But the Spaniard will surely be giving Conte food for thought with his latest efforts in training.

Towards the end of the video, Tottenham’s players took part in dedicated crossing drills.

At 5:17, Troy Parrott played the ball out to Gil on the left, who in turn whipped in a sumptuous cross for Oliver Skipp to emphatically head home.

“Oh, what a ball,” exclaimed Kane, before commenting on the scorer. “Skippy header!”

Skipp is all-but assured of being a regular starting contender for Spurs. But it remains to be seen what Conte decides to do with Gil.

But he’s certainly working hard and showing glimpses of quality, so hopefully his long-term future is with Tottenham.
