Tottenham to make Mathys Tel move permanent with £30m transfer fee
Tottenham are expected to seal the permanent signing of Mathys Tel for a fee of about €35m (£30m) in the next 48 hours. Spurs paid Bayern Munich a €10m loan fee to sign the forward for the second half of the Premier League season. The 20-year-old scored two goals in 13 league appearances, 11 of which were starts, but was an unused substitute for Spurs' Europa League final triumph over Manchester United, which resulted in their first trophy for 17 years. Advertisement Tel is poised to become the first signing of the Thomas Frank era, after the Dane replaced Ange Postecoglou as manager on a three-year contract, though the groundwork for the deal was completed before Frank's appointment on Monday. Frank is interested in reuniting with Bryan Mbeumo, who Brentford value north of £60m, but are yet to bid for the forward. Mbeumo, also wanted by Manchester United, has been a revelation for Brentford since signing from Troyes in a £5.8m deal in August 2019, when Brentford were in the Championship. Spurs believe Frank can play a key role in convincing Mbeumo to join. United have had a bid worth up to £55m rejected for the Cameroon forward and Brentford are under no pressure to sell. The transfer window reopens on Monday. Tel is on international duty with France at the Under-21 European Championship in Slovakia. He started France's 0-0 Group C draw with Portugal on Wednesday, in which another Spurs winger, Wilson Odobert, played the entire match. France play Georgia in Zilina on Saturday.

Talks are ongoing between Les Monégasques and the representatives of the 31-year-old midfielder. Monaco are said to be cautious in the negotiations, but Pogba has been clear in his desire to make the move happen before the beginning of the new Ligue 1 season.

With the Frenchman willing to reduce his salary demands, Monaco could be willing to make the move happen. GFFN | Liam Wraith
