Another day closer to the closure of this season's January transfer window, Tottenham are back on the market looking for more players to strengthen their injury ridden squad. Yesterday they were on the look out for a defender in the form of Feyenoord centre half David Hancko, but today the Lilywhite's attention turns to the other end of the pitch.
Manager Ange Postecoglou had already stated that the club won't be recalling the likes of Bryan Gil, on loan at Spanish side Girona, and Manor Solomon, who is at Leeds United. The likes of Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Dominic Solanke are all still out with injuries, it is clear to see Postecoglu is also desperate for some attacking fire power to add to the side aswell. Bayern Munich and France forward Mathys Tel is the player who Spurs have sniffed around today, with his game time very limited in Bavaria, he is looking for a new challenge. Tel is a young player, at only 19-years-old, and signed for Bayern Munich in July 2022 for around 17 million pounds from French side Stade Rennais, where he came through the academy.
Tel is a quick, strong forward that carries the ball really well. A striker by trade but he is also very capable of playing on the left, which covers both areas of the attack where Spurs are really damaged at the minute, and with extremely limited game time, he will be fresh and ready to play from the start.
Like always, the club will face big competition from some of the top clubs in Europe when fighting for someone of that talent's signature, with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United also in the hunt for the player. The player however has reportedly said he's ruled out the former. The Frenchman's price tag is currently 30 million Euros, however it would be no surprise to see the Bavarians charge a lot more for a player that would be key for them in the future, as well as the fact they'd be selling a player in the middle of the season right at the end of the window.
This would be a fantastic signing for the North Londoners. A young, hungry, hard working professional that would cover two areas of the pitch where they are struggling with injuries. Someone that can score goals, create chances and get the fans excited with his pace and skill. Yes it would be a bit of a hefty price, but he has all of his career ahead of him and the club could potentially have him for a long time. Of course though, this all depends if owner Daniel Levy wants to cough up the dosh
