Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has been asked about the role of youngster Bryan Gil within his squad.

Gil, who has been on loan in the past, has failed to show his best qualities in a Spurs shirt before this season.

However, Postecoglou has high hopes for the talented attacking midfielder, who can play on the left wing if needed.

During a press conference, Postecoglou stated: “He can be really important for us. He's one like I said the last couple of weeks it has been great to have him just working really hard at training. He's missed all of this season so far and it's well chronicled that we lost Ivan and Manor who play in that left-wing position. Having Bryan fit and available again is great for us.

“He's, I guess, in the same boat as everyone else because at some point he'll be forwarded an opportunity and then it's up to him. He certainly has all the criteria and credentials to play in that position for us and, like I said, his training is getting stronger now, he's part of the group and I'm sure he'll get an opportunity.

“We've got a Monday night game and then we back it up with a Friday night game, so we'll probably need a good deal of the squad to do those two games in the next five or six days."
