Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Bryan Gil on a permanent transfer.
The Spaniard’s move was announced via the club’s official Twitter page on Monday afternoon and becomes Nuno Espirito Santo’s second signing since becoming Spurs head coach.
Interestingly the first was announced on Saturday as goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini has joined from Italian side Atalanta on a season-long loan, with an option to make the transfer permanent next summer.
As part of the deal bringing Gil to north London, Erik Lamela has sealed his move to Sevilla after eight seasons and making a total of 257 appearances in all competitions.

Whilst Euro 2020 and the Copa America have been completed, there’s still one more football competition taking place this summer – and it’s the delayed 2020 Olympic Games.
Gil has been named in the Spain squad and as a result, could miss the start of the new season.
Players usually get time off after an international tournament and if Spain were to be involved in the gold medal match then the midfielder may not feature for the Spurs during the month of August.
