Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to sign 19-year-old Bayern Munich attacking sensation Mathys Tel on loan for the remainder of the season.
According to a report from reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who also quotes Florian Plettenberg, Mathys Tel will complete a straight loan move today, and Tottenham do not have an option to buy him permanently.
The two clubs have reached an agreement, and the player is expected to finalise his move now. The 19-year-old had previously turned down the opportunity to join Tottenham, but it seems that he has had a change of heart.
The North London club needed to bring in attacking reinforcements, and the French attacker could be a useful option for them. Tel is versatile enough to operate in multiple roles, and he could be the ideal squad player for Tottenham during the second half of the season. Players like Timo Werner and Richarlison have been quite underwhelming this season, and Tottenham needed alternatives.
Tel will look to make his mark in England
It will be interesting to see if the French attacker can hit the ground running in the Premier League and make an instant impact at Tottenham. The 19-year-old had struggled for regular game time at the Bundesliga club during the first half of the season, and he will be hoping to get his career back on track with regular football in England now.
Tottenham have an ambitious squad and an exciting project. It remains to be seen whether he can help them finish the season strongly. The Frenchman has been linked with clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United as well.
However, it seems that Tottenham have now beaten their Premier League rivals to his signature. The North London club recently signed Kevin Danso on loan as well. It seems that they are looking to finish the window on a high and improve the squad adequately.
It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and signing the right players will help them bounce back strongly. The 19-year-old has the quality to add a new dimension to their attacking unit, and signing him on loan could prove to be an excellent bit of business from Spurs.
