Mathys Tel reveals Harry Kane’s advice about Tottenham switch
A new chapter begins for Mathys Tel as he joins Tottenham Hotspur, and he has now revealed the details about a conversation he had with a certain club legend, Harry Kane.
Tottenham Hotspur’s summer deadline day coup
On deadline day, Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of 19-year-old French forward Mathys Tel in what could prove to be one of the most exciting acquisitions of the summer.
The forward joined on loan from Bayern Munich until the end of the season, with an option to buy for £45.7m in the summer.
Known for his pace and clinical finishing, Tel arrives with high expectations but also plenty of promise. The hope is that the young forward helps the North London club as they aim to push for silverware.
Mathys Tel’s journey to Tottenham
It was not always certain that Mathys Tel would make the move to Tottenham, and at one point, the deal looked dead in the water.
Early talks with chairman Daniel Levy reportedly left the player unconvinced about the club’s project, and it seemed he would prefer to remain at Bayern Munich rather than take a chance on a move to North London.
However, things changed when Ange Postecoglou stepped in to speak directly with Tel. The personal touch from the manager turned out to be a game-changer, as the forward’s doubts began to fade following their conversation.
Speaking to the club after his signing, Mathys Tel revealed how Kane’s words also helped him decide to join Spurs.
He said as relayed by the official Tottenham Hotspur X account: “He told me this is a big club with a lot of very good people, the pitch is very nice, the training centre is very good, and if you go there you can enjoy it. So, everything was positive from Harry Kane.”
Harry Kane’s enduring influence at Tottenham
Although Harry Kane may have swapped North London for Bavaria, his impact at Tottenham continues to linger. His 280 goals and 61 assists for the Lilywhites secured his legendary status at the club, but his contribution did not stop there.
In a way, his recommendation to Mathys Tel was the equivalent of a square pass for Ange Postecoglou to tap in—a final assist from afar.
Now that the transfer saga is behind them, Tottenham can focus on the challenges ahead. With Liverpool and Manchester United on the horizon, Tel’s first real test will be adapting quickly to the pace of Premier League football. Should he thrive, his signing could mark the beginning of an exciting new era under Postecoglou.
