Mathys Tel has joined Tottenham on loan from Bayern Munich with an option to buy.
Mathys Tel has been in the footballing radar of many clubs for a few years now. It makes it crazy to believe that he is still only 19 years old. Starting his professional career at Rennes. He joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022 for €28.5 million.
However, the Frenchman struggled for game time. Despite showing glimpses of his quality when given the chance, his managers didn’t give him many minutes. Although it would have been difficult when you are competing against Harry Kane, one of the best strikers in the world.
Mathys Tel revealed that Wilson Odobert played a key role in his decision to secure a January transfer move to Tottenham.
He also said.
“I’m very excited to play with my teammates and for the fans. It’s a new challenge for me, a new chapter to open and I’m very excited about it,”
But what exactly would Tel offer to Spurs?
First of all, it is another player, something Tottenham need during their injury crisis. Not only this but he is versatile, being able to play every position in attack, coming in handy for Postecoglou, even when all of his players are back.
Despite his low confidence this season, due to lack of game-time. The managers attacking approach will compliment Tel’s pace, goalscoring instincts and skill.
What makes him unique as a 19 year old is how good he is with both feet.
Overall he is a very gifted and technical player who seems capable of playing in the Premier League, and if all goes well? The estimated value of the option to buy would be around €55 million for a 6-year deal. It would seem both teams could benefit from this deal as Bayern would also be making plenty of profit for someone that rarely started.
