Duncan Castles has spoken about Bryan Gil and his summer transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
After Fabio Paratici's arrival at Spurs, Gil was the first signing of the club, which costed £21m (€25m).
However, the journalist was critical of Paratici’s work thus far, emphasizing the Spaniard's saga as a serious mistake.
“Generally Paratici’s work at Tottenham has to come under question." Castles said.
"Bryan Gil is a good example here, that €25m plus Erik Lamela that they spent on the player, we spoke to experts in football and they said he was a talented player but it’s questionable about whether or not he’s a player for the Premier League.
"My information is that Antonio Conte felt he was not ready for the Premier League, so he’s loaned him out".
Then Castles added.
“The details of how that deal was done, I am told that Gil was about to be sold by Sevilla to a Serie A club for around €6m (£5m).
"Then Paratici contacted Monchi asking how much they would want for Gil, then Monchi, who is a very experienced transfer market operator said they wouldn’t sell for less than €20m.
“Tottenham then made an offer which Monchi then bargained up to €25m plus Erik Lamela, and half a season later he’s being loaned out to Spain and the second coach he’s worked under believes he’s not ready to play Premier League football.
"There are some serious mistakes being made here.”
