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.

Report: Spurs urged to act fast as new boss eyes key £45m transfer move
Report: Frank Urges Spurs to Sign Tel as Transfer Talks with Bayern Loom Tottenham Hotspur are wasting no time in reshaping their future, with Brentford boss Thomas Frank reportedly set to take charge and already influencing their transfer policy. According to TEAMtalk, Frank has made clear to the Spurs hierarchy that he wants the club to sign Mathys Tel permanently, following a promising loan spell at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Advertisement This comes just weeks after Spurs lifted the Europa League trophy — their first major honour in 17 years — with a tense 1-0 win over Manchester United. Ironically, that silverware was not enough to save Ange Postecoglou's job, with Daniel Levy acting swiftly to make a change at the helm. It appears Levy now sees Frank as the man to lead Spurs into a new era, one built on high pressing, energy and, crucially, young talent like Tel. Tel's profile fits Frank's vision Frank's admiration for Tel is more than superficial. Sources close to TEAMtalk indicate that Frank values the 20-year-old's adaptability, relentless work ethic and attacking flair. Tel's direct style, described by James Maddison as that of a 'very direct player' who has 'done well', suits Frank's high-octane philosophy perfectly. Tel's technical skills and positional intelligence have already won over sections of the Spurs support. His ability to drift between the lines, burst past defenders, and apply pressure from the front is precisely the kind of forward play that defined Frank's success at Brentford. The Dane sees Tel as an ideal fit for a refreshed Tottenham frontline, potentially playing off the shoulder of a central striker or drifting inside from wide areas. Advertisement Tel's time in north London has evidently been a success. Signed on loan from Bayern Munich in January, he has grown in confidence and influence, and crucially, he is reportedly eager to extend his stay. 'Sources have told TEAMtalk that Tel himself is enthusiastic about staying at Tottenham, drawn by the club's ambitious project and the fact he has enjoyed his time in London and at the club.' Photo IMAGO Of course, sentiment alone will not finalise the transfer. Tel remains under contract at Bayern Munich, and while the Bundesliga champions are open to a sale, they are reportedly ready to drive a hard bargain. Spurs currently hold a £45million purchase option, but sources suggest that negotiations are already in motion to reduce that fee. Daniel Levy, well known for his tough negotiating style, will likely seek to trim the cost while leveraging Tel's settled position in London. Advertisement Tottenham are hoping that Tel's desire to stay — and his willingness to work under Frank — could tip the scales. For now, there's cautious optimism within the club that a deal can be struck. Strengthening for the Champions League push Tottenham's ambitions for next season are clear. With Champions League football secured via their Europa League triumph, the club are aiming for a more consistent domestic campaign, and the retention of talents like Tel could play a pivotal role in that mission. Frank's early push for Tel suggests he views the Frenchman as a cornerstone for his tactical rebuild. Given the uncertainty surrounding other attacking targets such as Bryan Mbeumo, and with Spurs also linked to alternatives at Everton and Crystal Palace, locking down a proven internal option might be the most pragmatic move. Advertisement In a market flooded with inflated prices and speculative talent, Tel offers Tottenham both continuity and potential. And with Frank eager to get started, sealing this deal swiftly could be the first significant step in defining the new Spurs era. Photo: IMAGO Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Spurs fan's viewpoint, the pursuit of Mathys Tel is not just a sensible move — it's a vital one. At just 20, Tel has already shown he has the tools to be an important contributor in a team that's about to embark on a Champions League campaign. His performances since January have been promising, even electrifying at times. We've seen players come in on loan and fade, but Tel has done the opposite. He's grown. Advertisement Thomas Frank's desire to retain Tel only adds to the optimism. The Danish manager's attacking football at Brentford was thrilling, and his emphasis on intelligent pressing and positional interchange is a breath of fresh air. Tel fits that system, and crucially, he wants to be here. Supporters are used to transfer sagas dragging on, especially under Levy's watch, but this is one deal that needs early closure. If Tel is happy, Frank is keen and the price is negotiable, why wait? Securing Tel sends a message — that this rebuild isn't just talk. It's action. We've waited 17 years for silverware. Let's not wait another 17 to build on it.

Tottenham and Bayern Munich now seek to negotiate new loan for Mathys Tel
Florian Plettenberg reports that Tottenham and Bayern Munich are currently attempting to negotiate a new loan deal for French striker Mathys Tel. Now that the purchase option in Tel's previous loan arrangement has lapsed, the two clubs wish to start from square one. Tel still hasn't officially been recalled early by his Bundesliga club for the coming Club World Cup. Plettenberg doesn't offer up much detail in terms of what the new loan accord might look like. Bayern are known to prefer a permanent sale while Spurs don't wish to purchase the 20-year-old for more than €35m. One assumes that the two sides might seek to build in an automatic purchase option that triggers the set amount if certain performance incentives are met. Advertisement It once appeared to be the case that Bayern definitely wanted Tel back for June's Club World Cup, but the fact that Tel still technically remains under contract in north London until the end of the month means that no final decision has been made. Thus far, Bayern have only secured two early loan recalls ahead of the coming tournament. Left back Adam Aznou (Real Valladolid) and attacking midfielder Maurice Krattenmacher (SSV Ulm 1846) are officially part of the FCB squad for the forthcoming competition. GGFN | Peter Weis
