Tottenham have opened talks over a £50million deal for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel. The 19-year-old has a number of offers to consider with Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Arsenal among seven clubs to have made enquiries for the France international. Spurs' technical director Johan Lange was understood to have travelled to Munich on Wednesday to watch Tel play for Bayern in their Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava and open negotiations.
Their talks are further advanced but Chelsea, Villa and Manchester United are in dialogue with Bayern and Tel's agents also. Regular playing time is key to his decision and Tottenham can provide that platform with Dominic Solanke out for six weeks and Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner also currently sidelined. Manchester United are keen on a loan deal as they anticipate further offers for Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
Tottenham briefly spoke about signing the forward back in the summer of 2023 when they sold Harry Kane to Bayern. In addition to Tel, Tottenham have a concrete interest in Southampton’s teenager Tyler Dibling and would be open to signing the youngster this month. Tottenham and Manchester United are among the Premier League clubs chasing the 18-year-old, who is viewed as one of the best young talents in European football.
