In a surprising turn on deadline day, the French Under-21 international, once reluctant, is now heading to London on a straight loan deal with no buy option
Bayern Munich teenager Mathys Tel has dramatically reversed his earlier decision and is now set to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan, according to multiple reports. The move, confirmed by prominent transfer experts Florian Plettenberg, Fabrice Hawkins, and Fabrizio Romano, comes as part of a busy and unpredictable January transfer window.
Initially, Tel had turned down the chance to play for Spurs, despite Tottenham making an offer that reportedly involved a £50 million fee with Bayern. While clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United were also in talks over the promising French Under-21 international, Spurs were the only club to put a formal offer on the table. Earlier, Tel had expressed hesitance, opting not to join Spurs under manager Ange Postecoglou.
However, in a dramatic twist, Tel has changed his mind and is now en route to London. Romano confirmed on social media, stating:
“Mathys Tel to Tottenham on loan, here we go! Straight loan and NO buy option clause. Agreement reached between clubs as Bayern have accepted the player’s decision and the player is on his way with agent Gadiri Camara. Deal in place”
An image shared by Romano shows Tel flying to London alongside his agent, capturing the excitement and unexpected nature of the transfer as deadline day unfolds.
This surprise move adds another chapter to Tottenham’s active January transfer window. The club, which recently outmaneuvered Wolves for centre-back Kevin Danso and eyed targets like Chelsea’s Axel Disasi and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, continues to stir the market. In a related twist, Tottenham owner Daniel Levy reportedly made a bold £70 million offer for Guehi over the weekend, reflecting the intense pressure from fans and the club’s drive to bolster their squad.
For Tel, the decision to join Spurs marks a new challenge and an opportunity to showcase his talent in the Premier League—a stage that could shape his burgeoning career. As he prepares to embrace this fresh start, Tottenham fans and pundits alike are eager to see how the young forward adapts to his new environment in London.
