“In the summer I was close to going to Valencia. From there, they let me go now (…) It was all very fast, although I told my representative that until I signed, I was not going to believe it. After what happened in summer (with those at Mestalla). In summer it was, I don’t know, 24 hours, the radical change, from a yes to a no,"

On his move to Spurs, Gil explained: “It changed my life, I wanted to try myself in the Premier League and although Conte likes more physical players, I learned a lot from him.”

The attacker is enjoying his second spell at Sevilla and has refused to discuss his future beyond this season.

“I think summer is coming and the season is over. I don’t want it to come [to an end]. Our heads are too busy with the situation to think about summer,” Gil concluded.
