A promising player who escaped from Tottenham has now returned to the Spanish national team.

The Spanish Football Federation announced on its official website on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) that the number of call-ups for the Spanish national team against Denmark and Serbia has been changed.

The Spanish Football Association was left out with the injury of Dani Carvajal and Ferran Torres. Luis de la Fuente has called up two new players. Osasuna's Brian Zaragoza and Girona's Brian Hill will join the training camp for Spain's national team, he said.

Hill will return to the Spanish national team for the first time in three years since October 2021. Considering the lackluster performance of Tottenham, it is difficult to imagine. After moving to Girona on loan, he got a chance right away.

Hill was considered a top prospect when he played in Seville in the past, but his career has been completely twisted since his transfer to Tottenham in 2021. Hill, who played only four games in the first half of last season, seemed to rebound by returning to his former team Sevilla in the winter transfer market, but lost his presence again after returning to Tottenham in the 2023-2024 season.



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. Tottenham played Hill 43 games over a total of three seasons. Hill, however, did not score a goal in the process, and only had one assist. Even considering that Hill is not an outstanding scorer, his influence on the game was minimal.

Tottenham had already tried to release Hill through several attempts to sell and loan, but his lack of performance prevented even a transfer from being made easy. In January of this year, despite receiving attention from Brighton and Lazio, he chose to stay and sought another opportunity, but failed to take advantage of this. In the end, I had no choice but to leave Tottenham this summer.

However, Hill, who left for the La Liga stage through Girona's loan, immediately began flying around. He has already scored his first goal of the season this season, surpassing Tottenham's scoring record. In addition, all four games were well received by the team's best player level for their outstanding performances. Since then, there have been some ups and downs in the game, but it was the aftermath of Girona's overall poor performance.

In the British media, Hill quickly regained his smile after leaving Tottenham, and immediately became a star after moving to Girona. Hill wants to take a step forward at Girona after his erratic appearance at Tottenham. He also sees the new club as an ideal place to revive his career. He said he is already considered a star player of the team by fans.

Along with the rebound, Hill returned to the Spanish national team and enjoyed the effect of escaping Tottenham. Many Tottenham fans are expected to pay attention to how far Hill's rise will continue.
