Mathys Tel makes dramatic Tottenham U-turn as he jets into London seal transfer

  /  autty

MATHYS TEL has made a dramatic U-turn after agreeing to join Tottenham on loan, reports say.

Tel and his agent Gadiri Camara shared pictures of them travelling to London in a private jet today on deadline day.

Tel will join Spurs until the end of the season, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

It is a straight loan deal, with no option to buy in the forward's short-term clause, meaning he will return to Bayern in the summer.

The structure of the deal is still being negotiated but Bayern have accepted Tel's decision to try his luck in the Premier League.

Agent Camara posted snaps of him and Tel looking suited and booted in a luxury private plane on Instagram hours before the close of the window.

It comes just days after Tel reportedly snubbed a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 19-year-old allegedly turned the North London club down, with Manchester United and Arsenal both interested at the time.

Spurs had been negotiating with the French teenager after reportedly agreeing a £50million deal with Bayern.

And chairman Daniel Levy even jetted to Germany to help try to seal a deal before Tel refused it.

But now the teenager has seemingly gone back on his decision to reject Tottenham and will join Ange Postecoglou's side.

They are expected to cover his full salary until the deal expires in June.

Tel has been a fringe player at Bayern this season, playing only 344 minutes across their Bundesliga and Champions League campaigns.

He is yet to score this term, but at 19 remains a thrilling talent.

He scored nine goals and provided six assists across the Bundesliga and Europe last season - and mostly as a substitute.

Bayern paid roughly £23m to land him from French side Rennes at the age of only 17 in 2022.

Once confirmed, Tel will be Spurs' fourth signing of the January window.

Defender Kevin Danso and 18-year-old Korean star Yang min-hyeok came during the first days of the window.

Before young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was thrown straight into the starting XI after signing for £13.3m from Slavia Prague.

Tel might jump start into Prem duties too, with Tottenham currently suffering from a horrific injury crisis.

Spurs have NINE first-team players sidelined through injury, including Radu Dragusin and defenders Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie.

Keeper Guglielmo Vicario, Wilson Odobert, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and James Maddison are also out.

Postecoglou's men sit 14th in the Prem, after winning just eight of their 24 games this season.
