Valencia’s Gil set for Granada

Granada are closing in on a season-long loan signing of Valencia midfielder Nacho Gil, say reports in the Spanish press.

The 22-year-old will join the second tier Andalusian club on a loan arrangement in order to gain regular first-team football, say Marca.

Gil – whose elder brother Carles plays for Deportivo – has made just eight appearances for Valencia, having graduated through the academy at the Mestalla.

The attacking midfielder spent the latter half of last season on loan at Las Palmas.
