Tottenham Hotspur is making significant progress in securing Bayern Munich’s young star, Mathys Tel, on loan.

This move might benefit Spurs in more ways than one, especially with Arsenal’s options running low this transfer window.

Mathys Tel’s Unexpected Change of Heart

Initially, the 19-year-old French forward had rejected a move to Tottenham, even though the clubs had agreed on a deal.

However, Tel has made a surprising U-turn and is now set to complete his loan transfer to Spurs on deadline day.

This unexpected shift means that Arsenal, who had also shown interest in the talented player, will now likely miss out on the signing.

Arsenal had been monitoring Tel’s situation, along with other clubs like Manchester United, after his initial decision to stay at Bayern.

With Tel headed to Tottenham, Arsenal’s hopes of strengthening their forward line have slimmed down, and any new signings this window now seem unlikely.

Arsenal’s Struggling Transfer Window

While Arsenal managed to secure a loan deal for Raheem Sterling in the summer, replicating such a move this time around seems doubtful.

Given the current situation, the Gunners’ plans to bring in another forward appear to be stalling, especially with the deadline fast approaching.

Tottenham’s Strategic Move

Spurs have been busy, with technical director Johan Lange traveling to Munich to observe Tel during Bayern’s Champions League win against Slovan Bratislava.

After the match, Lange quickly entered negotiations, leading to the deal being finalized in the closing hours of the transfer window.

Tel’s desire for more playing time played a significant role in his decision to move.

With his position at Bayern under pressure this season, the forward has seen limited opportunities, making a move to Tottenham more appealing.

Over his career at Bayern, Tel has scored 16 goals in 83 appearances across all competitions.

Further Moves for Spurs?

Once completed, Tel will become Tottenham’s third signing of the transfer window, joining goalkeeper Antonin Kinsy and defender Kevin Danso.

Spurs are not stopping there and are also working hard to revive their pursuit of Chelsea’s Axel Disasi.

Though Tottenham was initially thought to be out of the running for Disasi, after the player turned down a move to north London, the club remains determined to secure the French defender before the window closes.
