Spurs announce initial permanent acquisition under management of Thomas Frank
New Version:
Swinging into the Thomas Frank era at Spurs, Mathys Tel has snatched the spotlight with a permanent move to the Londoners. This big-ticket deal marks the first major signing under the new coach's tenure.
Tel commenced his journey with Tottenham on loan from Bayern Munich back in February and played a pivotal role in securing the Europa League title. Now, the 20-year-old Frenchman has officially joined Spurs, inking a six-year contract, starting June 2025, until 2031.
The club expressed their excitement about the signing in a statement, "We've sealed a deal with Bayern to secure Mathys Tel, a France U21 international star who'll be with us till 2031!"
Embarking on his Spurs career with a substitute appearance against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, Tel scored his maiden start and goal against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. He added his first Premier League goal from the penalty spot in a thrilling 3-1 win over Southampton in April. During his short-lived stint with the team, Tel managed three goals in 20 appearances.
Elsewhere on the international front, Tel is currently representing France at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Thomas Frank, who was recently appointed as Tottenham's manager, has given his full approval to the signing. Known for his versatility, Tel's ability to adapt across multiple attacking roles will undoubtedly be an asset in Frank's vision for the team.
While the attention now turns towards new transfers under the new manager, speculations are rife about potential incomings from Frank's former club, Brentford. One of the prime targets could be Bryan Mbeumo, who has drawn interest from Manchester United in a deal worth £60m-£70m. Frank's previous connection to Mbeumo could potentially strengthen Tottenham's pursuit of the forward. Besides Mbeumo, reports indicate that Manor Solomon, who impressed during his loan spell with Leeds United, may also get a chance under Thomas Frank.
So, buckle up, Spurs fans – it seems like an exciting new era is unfolding at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Stay tuned for more developments as the transfer market heats up!
