Antonio Conte had Bryan Gil on the bench for the first three league games before leaving him out of the squad for Tottenham Hotspur’s last two ties against Nottingham Forest and West Ham United.
The Spain international wasn’t included in the coach’s plans last season and that saw him join Valencia on loan deal in January.
His displays pleased the La Liga side and they were keen on signing the winger again in the summer.
A day before the window closed, Tottenham and Los Ches had reached an agreement for the 21-year-old’s transfer, but despite this, the deal didn’t take shape because the north London club decided against sanctioning the move.
Today’s Super Deporte states Gennaro Gattuso’s side received a surprise on Thursday morning when they found out Gil was going to stay in London.
Even though the attacker’s operation was closed for weeks, Antonio Conte and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy ‘closed the door’ on the player’s exit in the end.
