Sponsored by. ARSENAL have made contact with Mathys Tel's representatives, according to reports. The Bayern Munich forward, 19, is one of the most desired players on the market ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline. Bayern agreed to sell Tel to Tottenham for £50million on Friday, only for the teenager to turn them down. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal and Man Utd both remain in the race for Tel and have each made contact with the player's team regarding a move.

It's said that the Frenchman "idolised" Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo as a kid. Tel can play on either flank or as a central striker. Arsenal are keen on forward reinforcements, especially given injuries suffered by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. One of Tel's primary reasons for considering a Bayern exit is for extra playing time. He has started just two Bundesliga games for Vincent Kompany's side this season, and has not scored under the Belgian.
