Bryan Gil has quickly ‘regained his smile’ away from Tottenham, with star status at Girona quickly achieved following his arrival this summer.
That’s according to EFE, relayed by MSN, who cover the player today and how he is smiling once again after finally getting out of Tottenham.
The Spanish forward joined Girona on loan in the summer, the latest in what is now a long line of loan departures from Tottenham in recent years.
He moved there from Sevilla in July 2021 in a €25m deal but has barely featured under a succession of managers, instead spending the intervening years on loan at Valencia, Sevilla and now Girona.
Gil had hoped to secure a permanent exit this summer but was instead forced to accept another loan, albeit this time to a side who will be competing in the Champions League this season.
Girona have brought him in to replace the departed Savinho and EFE report things are going very well early on.
According to them, Gil has ‘regained his smile’ at Girona and has already been chosen by fans as their ‘star player’ in three of their four La Liga games.
He’s playing a ‘leading role’ under Míchel Sánchez so far, scoring a goal and playing 341 minutes out of a possible 360. Only four players in the squad have completed every minute and he’s right behind them.
Gil is hoping to ‘take a step forward’ in Girona after ‘irregular’ years at Tottenham and sees his new clubs as the ideal place to relaunch his career.
He’s ‘adapted perfectly’ to the left-wing role he’s been given early on and seems ready to replace Savio, who departed for Manchester City and left a huge hole to be filled in the process.
The Brazilian’s shadow still lingers on the squad, but Gil has started at an ‘excellent level’ and is already being seen as the star footballer in the squad by fans despite only arriving from Tottenham this summer.
