Journalist suggests one Spurs man is simply not suited to the Premier League
The Daily Mail’s Josh Hughes has said that Bryan Gil is simply not well suited to the Premier League, suggesting that the winger is likely to be much more impactful in La Liga.
Gil has already proven that he can be a handful in Spain, with Tottenham picking up the winger in 2021 on the back of his impressive showing on loan in Eibar.
The 22-year-old once again impressed during his loan spell at Sevilla during the second half of last season, but the youngster is yet to really make the expected impact at Spurs.
Due to the injury crisis Ange Postecoglou has been dealing with over recent weeks, the Spaniard has had a few opportunities to showcase his qualities but he has failed to pull up any trees.
Is Bryan Gil cut out for life in the Premier League?
Hughes doubts whether the Spain international will ever be able to adapt to the Premier League, opining that he would be better off moving back to La Liga.
The journalist told Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel about Gil: “He has his games and there is a lot to like about him, I just think long-term, he is a La Liga player, there’s a reason people rave about him in Spain and he doesn’t get the same reviews in England.
“Some players are better suited to other leagues, and there’s not much he can do about his genetics. I hope as long as he’s here he does his best, but I think he will probably go in the summer and I hope he does well if he does go.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I think it would be unfair to write Gil off as not being a good fit for the Premier League when he has only had a handful of starts in the competition. We have seen players of a slight build thrive in England before, with the likes of David Silva and Juan Mata having plenty of success in the Premier League.
More than his strength (or lack thereof), I think the main issue Gil is his inability to get his head up and see what is around him. The winger appears to always take a couple more touches than necessary instead of mixing up his game by sometimes releasing runners first-time.
