Tottenham and how they won the London derby against Arsenal by Bryan Gil

The Gunners tried to sign the pearl from the Sevilla quarry on several occasions when he was youth but now he is one step away from the Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur is about to close the transfer of Bryan Gil for 25 million euros plus variables and the Argentine player Erik Lamelto. However, the Premier’s interest in the Sevilla player is not new and, unwittingly, Bryan Gil may be the protagonist of a small controversy between the two teams that compete in north London.

The truth is that Arsenal was already more than interested in hiring the man from Cádiz long before the Spurs. The signing attempt dates back to the time when Julio de Marcos, current youth director of Atlético de Madrid, was the head of scouting for the London team in Spain.

In 2018, Bryan Gil was already playing for Sevilla Atlético and attended the calls of the Spanish U-18 team. Arsenal wanted to bet on the young promise at Christmas of that year but found the refusal of the Sevilla team. The persistence of the English team continued months later, and before the summer arrived, the offer rose to take the squad. The amount already amounted to 4 million euros for the one from Barbate to change the red of Nervión for that of the Gunners.

Sevilla remained firm in its commitment to the player. He made him debut with the first team and improved his contract to retain a footballer who was drawing a promising future. The Emirates Stadium team kept trying, but by the 2019/20 season Bryan was already a full member of the first team. The few minutes he had made him leave on loan to Leganés in the winter market and in the following campaign to Eibar de Mendilibar. His time at the gunsmith team ended up training a player who once again drew attention for his overflow and self-confidence.

The player has been associated with various teams over the last few months. Julen Lopetegui already had him for this season but events are accelerating and it seems that the winger will change of air after a good operation for Sevilla.
