As explained on Tuesday, Fiorentina have been somewhat forced to return to trying to sign Bryan Gil from Tottenham after their attempt for Cyril Ngonge was trumped by Napoli.
Spurs’ Spaniard was a target for the Serie A side before they turned their attention to the Hellas Verona star, but he is now heading to the south of Italy, and they still need to improve their squad on the wings.
Now, La Nazione, relayed by Fiorentina.it, corroborate what was said before, explaining that a move for Tottenham’s Gil ‘is not to be completely excluded’.
One of the reasons, and this is where the surprise comes up, is because the Premier League side would be happy to ‘close even in front of a paid loan’.
This goes against what had been previously reported, as Tottenham were always said to be reluctant when it came to a temporary loan for the winger.
He has already gone away a number of times to various clubs in Spain with varying degrees of success, and it seemed that Spurs would rather want him gone for good or having him around as back up rather than, once again, help another club for a matter of months and get very little in return.
Therefore, one to keep an eye on as we enter the back end of the January transfer window.
