Mathys Tel’s Tottenham future could depend on Thomas Frank and Crysencio Summerville
The uncertainty over Thomas Frank’s future at Tottenham is reportedly delaying a move away for the disgruntled Mathys Tel.
While Frank bought himself a bit of time with the win over Borussia Dortmund, reports indicate that the Tottenham head coach remains in danger of being sacked, especially after the draw to Burnley.
The fact that the drama over his future is playing out in the midst of the transfer window is far from ideal for the Lilywhites.
Over recent days, we have heard that Mathys Tel is pushing for a move away from Spurs as the forward is furious at being replaced in the Champions League squad by Dominic Solanke.
Thomas Frank’s ‘shaky’ future at Tottenham is causing Mathys Tel delay
A report in Gazzetta dello Sport has now revealed that AS Roma are pushing to land Tel before the window slams shut.
Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini has requested a right-footed attacker who can play on the left, and the Tottenham man ‘is in pole position’ to join the club.
The Italian club have already contacted Tel and have found out that he wants to leave Spurs.
However, with Frank’s situation ‘increasingly shaky’ at the moment, the Giallorossi will have to wait for a few more days for the Lilywhites to sanction a move.
It is suggested that Tel’s situation at N17 could change in the coming days if the Danish coach is sacked by the club.

A different report in ASRomaLive.it also provides an update on the Serie A club’s pursuit of the France U21 international.
They say that Roma have to be wary of interest from Paris FC in Tel. They also suggest that Tottenham will try to stall the forward’s exit owing to the uncertainty around Frank’s future.
The outlet adds that ‘keeping a disgruntled player could be counterproductive’ for the North London club.
They add that Tottenham’s interest in West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville is down to the club anticipating Tel’s exit before the window closes.
