22-year-old Prospect Who Angered SON
Brian Hill, a 22-year-old prospect who made "Smile Man" Son Heung-min (Tottenham) frown. Although his position is expected to decline further in the future, he is unlikely to leave Tottenham.
Football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 9th that Feyenoord (the Netherlands) and Fiorentina (Italy) showed interest (in Hill) as they approached Tottenham, but there is still no contact with the player.
"Hill is 100% focused on Tottenham and there is little chance of leaving the club under the current situation," he said.
Hill, who failed to establish himself after signing a contract with Tottenham in the 2021-22 season, was on loan. He started at Tottenham this season, but rumors of a transfer have been circulating steadily. This is because he is still a candidate at Tottenham again this time. In fact, he played in eight Premier League games, but started only twice.
As it happened, a number of teams showed interest in Hill. British media outlet Sports Mall quoted Gianluca DiMargio as saying that Fiorentina is ready to sign a contract with Hill before the end of this month.
In Tottenham, a loan transfer can be an opportunity for Hill, who has too much competition for the starting lineup. However, Romano believes that there has been no specific proposal from other teams so far. If Hill fails to move the enemy within January, the rest of the season should remain at Tottenham first.
The problem is that Hill's narrow position will become narrower. Tottenham hired Timo Werner on loan to fill the void left by Son Heung-min, who was away to participate in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. Hill has more mountains to overcome.
Above all, the biggest problem is that Hill is not able to display competitiveness within Tottenham. Hill started the match against Manchester City (3-3 draw) on April 4, and caused anger from Son with a late pass. It was quite unusual. Hill, who was replaced as soon as the start of the second half of the day, has been on the ground consistently, but has not had a single chance to start since then.
