Tottenham have announced that an agreement is in place for a swap deal with Erik Lamela going to Sevilla and winger Bryan Gil joining from the Spanish side.
It brings to an end an eight-year stay in north London for the Argentine who arrived in 2013, as a replacement for Gareth Bale, who had at that time just left for Real Madrid. In that span of time, the midfielder made over 250 appearances and racked up 37 goals.

Christian Pulisic is about to embark on his third season with Chelsea, but this will be his first real preseason with the west London club. It sounds bizarre to say that, but it’s entirely true. In January 2019, an agreement was reached under then manager Maurizio Sarri to transfer the left wing from Borussia Dortmund in the upcoming summertime.
After the Bundesliga season completed, Pulisic would go on and lead the United States Men’s National Team to the Gold Cup Final, where they lost to Mexico at Chicago’s Soldier Field. Then it was just a couple days until the American met up with the rest of the team in Japan where they were staging their preseason tour.

It’s been a rather dull summer transfer window, as a whole, as the moves that are getting made have tended to be rather protracted.

The unveiling announcement could come in the next couple of days though, as reports surface of Ben White undergoing his medical for the Emirates club this weekend.
