It is hard to believe that he is the striker’s stat. Brian Hill (23) is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur with zero goals in total.
“Hill is in negotiations to move to a new club. According to sources, he is discussing to join Spanish club Girona,” the British Football Insider reported on the 23rd (Korean time).
Hill is a Spanish winger who left Sevilla to join Tottenham back in 2021. He received a lot of attention in La Liga for his signature left-footed dribble that robbed them of the timing of their opponents’ defense. Several teams had their eyes on him, but Tottenham won the bid by offering Eric Lamela for cash. His contract ran until 2026.
Contrary to expectations, Hill has had difficulty adapting himself to the tough Premier League. He left for Valencia in the second half of 2021 to secure time for his participation, and stayed in Seville last season as well. After returning to his former team, Hill showed good performance and helped Sevilla win the UEFA Europa League.
Hill was different in the PL, however. He returned to Tottenham Hotspur last season, but never displayed his presence. Notably, he dribbled alone at the timing of the pass against Manchester City in December last year, angering Son. Since then, Hill has never started, and has played for 200 minutes in 11 league games. He had no offensive point.
In the end, Tottenham Hotspur also decided not to give up Hill. They have decided to let him go even if it is difficult to collect the transfer fee. When Tottenham acquired Hill three years ago, it gave 25 million euros to Sevilla, but the bid is not expected to be even half-finished.
Hill has been excluded from the list of Tottenham players who will participate in the pre-season Asian tour this summer. Hill and Sergio Reguilon, who have been excluded from the competition for a long time, have not been able to accompany Hill, although they have not been injured.
The reason is that we have to push for transfer negotiations right away. Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European soccer transfer market, said, “Hill and Reguilon are not participating in the tour to explore potential transfer opportunities. Both are expected to leave Tottenham this summer.” 안전놀이터
Hill visited Korea in 2022 and greeted Korean fans. He also played in a match with Team K League and visited the stadium. However, as he was placed on the release list this time, his return to Korea was canceled. Now he has to worry about the future of next season.
Fortunately, there is a place that wants Hill. He is showing interest in his native Spain. His former team Sevilla is reportedly considering renting once again. Sevilla is seeking a full transfer contract after pre-lease with 6 million euros (approximately 9 billion won).
Girona is also sending Hill a love call. Football Insider said, “Tottenham allowed Hill to talk to other clubs. He prefers a full transfer. Girona, who qualified for the Champions League by finishing third in La Liga last season, is getting closer to signing Hill.”
For Tottenham, it is fortunate that he was able to release Hill for a fee. He has played in 43 matches since joining Tottenham, but has not scored a single goal. Football Insider also stressed, “Tottenham is happy to let Hill go. He was also absent from the pre-season squad. It is clear that Tottenham no longer trusts Hill’s capabilities.”
