“So much change is not a good thing” – Tottenham player says drama impacts performance, wants a quiet summer

Bryan Gil has struggled to have prominence at Tottenham Hotspur since he joined them from Sevilla in 2021.

Spurs allowed the 22-year-old to spend the second half of last season on loan at Valencia. He didn’t enjoy regular game time earlier this season at the north London club and that convinced them to sanction another loan move, this time to Sevilla, in the winter market.

AS had a chat with the Tottenham owned player, where he stressed the changes in the past two years hasn’t helped his development.

“Well, so much change in such a short time is not a good thing. Not just for me, for anyone. Although it also helps you. The bad part is that it affects your performance, because you have to adapt to another team, another way of playing and a new league… but at the same time it makes you mature and appreciate the good times,” he said.

“A lot has happened at Tottenham this season but I’m sure they’ll fix everything in the summer and next season will go well. I take the positives from England and there are things that I put into practice when I am playing here in Spain.”

The Spain international had to put in a lot of effort off the pitch in order to meet Spurs’ requirements.

“Yes, you work a lot in the gym in the Premier League. I did my part, I gave 100% to have more minutes with an individual physical trainer, taking care of the diet to the maximum… I gained a couple of kilos but with my metabolism it is very difficult to get as they want there,” Gil explained.

“With a couple of kilos more it would be better, but I know that if I put on too much strength or weight I wouldn’t be as agile and that’s one of my main characteristics.”

The winger’s loan deal at Sevilla lasts until the end of the season, after which he will have to return to the Premier League side in the summer. Tottenham parted ways with Antonio Conte in March and his successor is still to be appointed.

When asked about his future at Spurs, Gil said: “It is too soon to know what will happen. What I do want is to have a quiet summer, because I’ve already had a couple of very busy years with whether I go out or not.

“If I have to leave or stay, let it be something clear. I will go with the mentality of staying because I have a contract and if I leave, it will be what they have decided.”
