And Spurs have thanked left-back Sergio Reguilon for helping lure Gil to North London.

Joker Reguilon responded, mimicking journalist Fabrizio Romano, saying: "HERE WE GO."

Spain international Gil, 20, has signed a five-year deal keeping him at the club until 2026.

Gil took LaLiga by storm last season whilst on loan at Eiber, scoring four goals and providing three assists.

And Spurs managed to fend off interest from rivals Arsenal, as well as the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid to sign him.

Sevilla have also announced the signing of Lamela on a three-year deal.

The 29-year-old Argentina star endured a stop-start career at Spurs, scoring 37 goals as well as providing 47 assists in 257 games.
