Coach Thomas Frank, who took the helm of Tottenham, took his first step on the 6th (Korea time). The first call-up was accompanied by first-team players including Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Beribal, Dejan Kulusevski, Jed Spence and Antonin Kinski. Son Heung-min and Christian Romero will return sequentially in the case of players who played an A match in June.
Yang Min-hyuk, Jamie Donley, Josh Keeley and George Abbott also visited Tottenham's training ground again. Hill, a virtually forgotten figure at Tottenham, also showed up. They took the first step starting with medical checks. He also met with Frank, the new head coach.
However, Hill still has no future at Tottenham. The Spaniard moved his nest from Seville to Tottenham in the summer of 2021. Tottenham recruited Hill by including Eric Lamela in a transfer fee of 25 million euros (about 40 billion won).
However, Hill's small physique made it difficult to adapt to the English Premier League (EPL). He left the January transfer window on loan for the second consecutive season. It was loaned to Valencia in the 2021-2022 season and to Sevilla in the 2022-2023 season.
He scored two goals in 24 matches for Sevilla. In particular, he raised expectations by lifting the trophy in the Europa League. Hill stayed at Tottenham in the 2023-2024 season, but there was no place for him. He played only 11 matches (2 starts and 9 substitutes) in the EPL. His playing time was only 202 minutes. The score was also 'Zero'.

Hill was likely to transfer to Feyenoord in the Netherlands last summer. However, the negotiations finally failed and turned to Girona. A buyout of 15 million euros (about 24 billion won) was set, and Girona will have the right to negotiate first.
He succeeded in rebounding. Hill played in 32 games in all of the 2024-2025 season, scoring four goals and three assists. But he stopped with a knee injury. The lateral ligament and meniscus of the right knee were damaged.
He was put on the operating table in March and ended the season early. Girona's complete transfer was also unsuccessful. Tottenham are planning to sell Hill in some way.He will end his contract with Tottenham in June next year.
Hill has been under fire for causing Son Heung-min's anger with his complacent play. In December 2023, he was criticized by Son Heung-min for his unreasonable shot at cross timing and half-beat late pass against Manchester City (3-3 draw) and Brighton (2-4 loss).
