Chelsea Set To Start Talks With The Bayern Munich Winger: Why Will It Be A Good Move? | OneFootball

Reliable Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side have been tabs on the status of Mathys Tel and has decided to hold talks with Bayern Munich regarding the signing of the player. Tel has fallen out of favour at the German club and has struggled to receive first-team football.

Chelsea want to sign Mathys Tel

The 19-year-old is one of the brightest prospects of the game and is definitely one to watch out for in the future. Playing in the Premier League can help him develop his skills. It remains to be seen if Bayern will accept the offer from the Blues to facilitate his departure to the Stamford Bridge. The Blues could definitely lure the player with consistent game time in first-team football.

Tel is a natural left-winger but has the skills in him to ply his trade as a right-winger as well. He is highly talented and has all that in him to provide a boost to Chelsea’s attacking output in the Premier League. For now, Tel wants to play regularly, and playing for a big Premier League club like Chelsea on a consistent basis could just provide Tel with what he is looking for in his current state.

What will Tel provide the Blues with?

Tel has not scored any goals so far in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season. He has taken five shots in 8 matches so far in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season. Of the five shots, three were on target and the other two were off target. That means that Tel’s shooting accuracy is 60.00%.

He has assisted one goal in 8 matches so far in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season. Looking into his passing aspect of the game, Tel passes the ball roughly 42.67 times during a game with a pass completion rate of 86.55%. He also plays 0.36 key passes each game, which leads to significant scoring chances. Overall, Tel’s xA (expected assists) output is 0.29 per 90 minutes.

Chelsea have been a grooming place for young players for quite some time, and the team also needs some reinforcements in the attacking department. He is known for his speed, finishing, and creative dribbling. Tel’s versatility across the front line, combined with physical strength and technical skills, marks him as a prodigious talent. Therefore, Chelsea can have a prized asset if they manage to sign him in the future.
