Postecoglou confident Tel will join Tottenham permanently | OneFootball

Mathys Tel left Bayern Munich on deadline day to join Tottenham on a six-month loan with an option to buy, reportedly worth €55m plus €5 million in bonuses.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is in no doubt that the French striker's move will be made permanent.

“He'll be a Tottenham player. I think he'll show everyone he's going to be a Tottenham player in the next six months. I didn't bring him here for six months,” Postecoglou said, according to the BBC.

He also played down reports suggesting that Tel turned down an approach from Tottenham earlier during the transfer window.

“I think people need to understand that you are talking about a 19-year-old who has to make a major decision for his career and it's not that he rejected us or rejected anyone else,” he said.

"I think he just wanted to be comfortable with his decision. I don't think he wanted to be pushed in a certain direction and it's credit to him.

"I had a conversation with him and it was purely around the football and I think he'll find a really good place for him here."
