Ligue 1 side failed with deadline day move for Spurs winger

French news outlet L’Equipe have revealed that Lyon failed with a deadline-day move to sign Tottenham winger Bryan Gil.

While transfer deadline day did prove to be a busy one for Spurs, the club failed to offload some of their unwanted players before the 11 pm deadline, with Eric Dier, Hugo Lloris, and Davinson Sanchez remaining at N17 after the window had slammed shut.

Gil was also linked with a late move away from Hotspur Way, with some Spanish outlets suggesting that Sevilla were keen on re-signing the winger on loan for the remainder of the campaign (ABC Sevilla via Sport Witness).

The 22-year-old, who recently underwent groin injury and has not had an opportunity to feature under Ange Postecoglou as of yet, but did reveal on an Instagram story recently to suggest he is close to returning to action.
