Mathys Tel makes decision on Tottenham future as three clubs circle January deal

Mathys Tel has decided whether he would like to stay at Tottenham Hotspur and fight for his place in the first team or depart the club to pursue a different opportunity.

It has been a year since Mathys Tel initially joined Tottenham Hotspur on a loan-to-buy deal, and his career at the club has not progressed as expected. 

The France under-21s captain struggled to find favour with Ange Postecoglou, and he was even an unused substitute for the Europa League final.

Tel’s woes at Tottenham have continued since he made his move permanent last summer, with the attacker often going weeks without an appearance.

Mathys Tel is open to leaving Tottenham on loan

Tel is hoping to be called up to the France senior squad ahead of the World Cup this summer, and according to The Guardian he is therefore open to a move away from North London.

There is no suggestion that Tel wants to leave Tottenham on a permanent basis, but he is open to departing the club on loan.

It seems this news has been made public to a number of teams because Paris FC, Fenebahce and Galatasaray have all registered their interest in the forward.

Tel could get the minutes he needs at Spurs

Although Tel has not been used much for most of the season, he has recently enjoyed a string of starts in the Spurs first-team.

The 20-year-old was initially being used as a striker under Thomas Frank, but he has found his form on the left wing and could continue to play there for the rest of the season.

Tottenham do not have a great deal of wide attacking options, so the best thing for Tel could be to stay put and continue to fight for starts where he is now.
