Paris FC, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray keen on forward
Spurs poised to land Santos left-back Souza in £13m deal
Mathys Tel has informed Tottenham he is open to leaving on loan, having grown frustrated at his lack of game time under Thomas Frank since a £30m move from Bayern Munich.
Paris FC and the Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are understood to have registered interest in taking the 20-year-old forward on loan until the end of the season. Clubs in Italy and Spain are also believed to have sounded out Spurs, who are thought to be reluctant to let Tel leave after selling Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for £35m.
Tel, who started Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Saturday, wants regular playing time to boost his chances of making Didier Deschamps’ World Cup squad, having recently been named as captain of France’s Under-21s. He has scored two goals in five Premier League starts this season and one in his nine league substitute appearances. Tel spent the second half of the previous campaign on loan at Spurs and was an unused substitute in the Europa League final.
