Tottenham expressed interest in signing Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich
Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in signing Mathys Tel but may have to wait until the summer signing lands the winger from Bayern Munich, according to a report via FCB inside.
The report shares information from SportBILD, stating that Tottenham “expressed interest” in signing the 18-year-old winger on loan this winter to strengthen their squad during the second half of the campaign.
However, Bayern rejected the proposal and will instead look to offload Tel at the end of the season. The young man is valued at around £25 million but Bayern will seek to give him away to gain experience.
The German club will also want to sign a replacement to let Tel go. They have been linked with a move for VfB Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy.
Tel has six goals and three assists to his name in all competitions this season and is capable of operating anywhere in the top three. He can play both as a winger and as a center forward. His versatility makes him a very useful option and he could have been a quality acquisition for Tottenham during the second half of the season.
summer movement
The talented young winger needs regular football to continue his development and it remains to be seen if Bayern Munich will be able to give him the opportunity. He has been a player in the German club's squad this season and will want to play more often in the coming seasons.
If the German team does not give him the necessary opportunities, a departure from the club would be ideal for his development. Tottenham could use a versatile attacker like him and Tel would be an interesting signing if they could lure him to north London.
Timo Werner is expected to return to his parent club once his loan deal ends in the summer and the Bayern Munich winger could replace him in Ange Postecoglou's attack next season.
