Tottenham youngster Bryan Gil says that his family asked him to sign for Valencia.

The talented winger has signed for the La Liga club on loan until the end of the season.

Gil arrived at Spurs in the summer from Sevilla, but has failed to show his quality in the Premier League so far.

After making the move, Gil said: "It is a special day for me. I wanted to be here.

"My family is also very happy.

"They wanted me to return to Spain and now it's time to enjoy the team and the city."

Gil added: "I think his [Valencia coach Jose Bordalas] style will help me a lot.

"I hope to grow as a player and contribute the maximum to the coach and the team.

"I want to gain a little more experience and work a lot.

"I've come here to give everything, to make the fans and the club enjoy themselves.

"I'm sure we're going to do great things."
