Tottenham boss Conte praises Gil; puts White and Sarr on notice

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte insists he's happy with Bryan Gil.

Conte used Gil in midweek for victory over Champions League opponents Eintracht Frankfurt.

He said, "Yeah but you know that for me all the players in my squad are really important. They have to show me that they are ready to help us. I ask only this. But I have great respect for all my players and I think this respect, they feel this respect because in every training session my attention is the same for every single player, for Harry Kane but also if the player is [Harvey] White or Pape Sarr. We are talking about two really important prospects.

"I ask only to give me the opportunity to be relaxed and if I give the opportunity to these players to play, only this. Gil is a really good prospect. He is becoming stronger, physically, because he has in this moment only this gap for Premier League, it's physical, you know?

"Otherwise technically he understands football in an important way. I'm sure that we're talking about a player that will be an important prospect for the future. Now he's building also, he's improving on the physical aspect and for us that's important."
