Tottenham Hotspur are in discussions with Bayern Munich over the permanent transfer of forward Mathys Tel. Tel, 19, has been on the margins of the Bayern squad since arriving from Rennes in 2022, and is seeking a move away from Allianz Arena in pursuit of playing time.

Bayern Munich director of sport Max Eberl has opened the door for Mathys Tel to leave the club before the end of the January transfer window amid reported interest from Manchester United. Tel has been linked with a stunning move to Old Trafford this month after expressing his desire to depart Bayern in search of regular game time.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd all want Mathys Tel, Juventus target Jean-Clair Todibo and Carney Chukwuemeka, while Arsenal may bid again for Ollie Watkins.
