Tottenham's £22m summer signing Bryan Gil admits he was NOT up to the physical demands of the Premier League despite hiring an at-home chef and putting on two kilos... as winger looks to improve on loan at Valencia

Bryan Gil admits he was not up to the physical level required in the Premier League despite his attempts to put on weight since joining Tottenham.

Winger Gil joined Spurs in the summer in a deal that saw the north Londoners pay Sevilla £21.6million and also allow Erik Lamela to join the LaLiga club.

He came with a reputation as one of Spain's brightest young talents but was loaned to Valencia in January having not started a single league game under either Nuno Espirito Santo or Antonio Conte.

Conte cited the physicality of England's top division as a reason behind Gil's struggle for minutes since his arrival, with the 21-year-old getting just 29 minutes under the Italian.
