Mathys Tel makes Tottenham transfer admission after agreement reached
Mathys Tel told Tottenham that he wants to stay at Bayern Munich in the winter transfer window, according to David Ornstein.
The Athletic journalist revealed on his personal X account (31 January) that the 19-year-old striker shared his plans with the North London outfit as he rejected a potential move.
Spurs had reached an agreement with the Bavarians for the France Under-21 international, but he wishes to remain at the Bundesliga outfit and reassess his future next summer.

While it’s disappointing to see the youngster opt against a switch to Tottenham, there is no time to waste to reinforce Ange Postecoglou’s squad.
