Mathys Tel had a number of clubs pursuing him but eventually opted for Tottenham over Arsenal or Manchester United with Bayern Munich's Harry Kane helping to influence him

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the loan signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich until the end of the season. The deal includes an option to buy Tel for €55million (£45.7m; $56.9m) on a six-year contract. Tel is Spurs’ fourth signing of the window after goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, forward Yang Min-hyeok and centre-back Kevin Danso (also on loan).

Chelsea are reported to have failed with a late attempt to hijack Mathys Tel's loan switch to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day. The Blues have long chased Tel's signature and sprung into action when the young forward decided to leave Bayern Munich late in the winter window,
