Tottenham Hotspur have signed winger Bryan Gil from Sevilla with Erik Lamela joining the Spanish club as part of the deal.
Gil (20) has agreed a contract until 2026 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He will link up with his new teammates at the conclusion of the Olympics in Tokyo, where he is representing Spain.
Tottenham are reported to have paid around £21 million for Gil, as well as letting Lamela head in the opposite direction.
