European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that `Girona has begun negotiations with Tottenham to recruit Hill.'
Romano says 'The initial discussion has already taken place. Hill will leave Tottenham this summer, while leading Tottenham journalist Paul O'Keefe is also negotiating between Girona and Tottenham over Hill. There is no agreement on the transfer fee, but it is being done by the club and the players.

Hill played in the league with little chances, but was silent without scoring an offensive point, and his frustrating performance wore down his teammates as well. In December last year, there was a scene in which captain Son Heung-min caught him and expressed anger when Hill lost his chance to attack with a ridiculous shot against Brighton.
Hill, who failed to establish himself at Tottenham, was eventually listed for sale before this season. Clubs who rated his potential highly showed interest in recruiting Hill. Brentford was the first to come forward, but detailed negotiations were not carried out. Since then, Lazio, led by Maurizio Sarri, has also considered recruiting Hill, but it has not progressed. At the end of the transfer window, he offered to rent Hill to Brighton.
Still, Hill chose to stay. He will remain at Tottenham and choose to compete once again, continuing his challenge to revive. Tottenham also promised time to play for Hill to stay. During the winter transfer window, British media reported that Coach Enze Postecoglou had promised to give Brian Hill more time to show his talent in the second half after rejecting his offer during the winter transfer window.

Hilo has no choice but to welcome Girona if the transfer is made. It is a familiar return to the Spanish stage, and unlike Tottenham, which goes to the Europa League, Girona ended last season in third place in La Liga and succeeded in advancing to the UCL. It is an opportunity for Hill to play on a higher stage along with his playing time.
Meanwhile, Hill did not join the Asian tour, where Tottenham's squad left to push for the transfer. Tottenham released the roster of its pre-season tour touring Japan and South Korea on its official website on the 23rd, and Hill and Sergio Reguilon, who are preparing to transfer, along with players who participated in Copa America and the Euros such as Rodrigo Bentancourt, Giovanni Rosselso, Christian Romero and Mickey van der Pen, were not included.
Attention is also focusing on whether Hill, who is wrapping up his time at Tottenham, will wear Girona's uniform.
