Valencia coach Rino Gattuso retains hope of signing Tottenham winger Bryan Gil.

After last season's loan with Valencia, the Spaniard is wanted back at the Mestalla.

Gattuso said: “I was very clear in my press conference before this game.

“The squad is this and if someone goes away then another has to come. This has to be very clear for everybody. Otherwise we stay with this squad and we continue our path with these players, this squad.

“But if someone has to go away, along another must come. This is very clear for me, for the club, but we are totally agreed on this aspect.

“[Gil's future] is not my task. About the transfer market you have to speak to the club. I think we have to respect their role."
