Bayern Munich attacker Mathys Tel has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months but has signed a new contract.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have been keen on Mathys Tel. But he has now snubbed the opportunity to join them by signing a new deal with Bayern Munich. According to HITC, the 18-year-old has snubbed the trio by putting pen to paper on a long-term deal.
Arsenal need to bring in a quality attacker, and the Frenchman would have been a superb addition. The teenage sensation is versatile enough to operate on both flanks, and he would have added creativity and goals to the side, thus explaining the interest in him.
Tel is a prodigious talent with a big future ahead of him, and he could have developed into one of the best attackers in the Premier League.
Tel would have improved all three clubs
As for Chelsea, players like Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling have been quite underwhelming. Their performances have been below par, and they need to be replaced in the coming months.
Chelsea have been linked with a number of wingers, and the 18-year-old would have been a future investment for them. He would have added technical ability, pace and creativity to the side. Chelsea need to improve their attack to compete for major trophies once again, and the Frenchman could have transformed them going forward.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have spent substantial amounts of money on wingers in recent months. They signed Antony and Jadon Sancho for a combined fee of around £150 million, but both players have flopped. Neither has been able to live up to the expectations and justify the outlay. Sancho is currently on loan at Dortmund, and he is expected to be sold permanently in the summer. A similar fate could await Antony as well.
Manchester United need a quality winger at their disposal and therefore they were keen on signing the 18-year-old Bayern Munich prodigy. It will be interesting to see if the three English clubs decide to move on to other targets now. As for Tel, he will hope that he can get regular opportunities at Bayern now so that he can continue his development with ample first-team action.
