Bryan Gil has completed a loan move to Valencia after being given the green light to leave Tottenham.
Valencia confirmed the deal with only a few hours remaining before the deadline, and deployed a Harry Potter-style teaser clip to introduce their floppy-haired new star.
Surprisingly popping up was Potter actor Oliver Phelps, who played George Weasley in the film series.
“I’ve seen some amazing magic come out of London,” he said in Los Che’s Twitter announcement clip. “But this time, it’s a magician on the wing!
“Destination: The most magical temple on earth, the Mestalla. Amunt [Go on] Bryan, Amunt Valencia!”

Spurs are undergoing a frantic squad reset on transfer deadline day having initially failed to land top targets Adama Traore and Luis Diaz.
On Monday, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur arrived from Juventus, leading to the club allowing Spaniard Gil to return to his homeland.
The winger underwent his medical for a loan move until the summer at Monday lunchtime. Reports in Spain indicate that Valencia will not pay a fee for his temporary switch, while it is also understood that no fee has been agreed for a permanent switch.
The 20-year-old failed to score a goal and provided only one assist in his 20 appearances for Tottenham, since signing from Sevilla in a deal involving around £20million and Erik Lamela last summer.
Also on deadline day, Tanguy Ndombele completed his departure from North London with a loan move back to Lyon.
Dele Alli is on the verge of a move to Everton while Giovani Lo Celso has held talks with Villarreal.
