Mathys Tel will wear the shirt number 11 after joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Bayern Munich with a £45.7million option to buy the teenager.

Spurs have agreed the deal until the end of the season, subject to international clearance and work permit, with the option then for €55million (£45.7million) to make the move a permanent one with a six-year contract agreed for the 19-year-old. He will take Bryan Gil's shirt number 11 for the campaign ahead with the Spaniard currently on loan at Girona.

Tel had appeared to reject a £50million switch last week to Tottenham. However, a long phone call with Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou on Monday morning is understood by football.london to have played a major part in convincing the teenage attacker of his place in the Australian's plans and the game time he will get within his side this season.

At his former side Rennes, Tel made his debut at just 16-years-old and featured against Tottenham in Europa League Conference League fixture in September 2021. The teenager joined Bayern Munich in July 2022 and on his full debut the following month, he netted his first goal for the Bavarian giants and in doing so became the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer.

Tottenham have added Tel to Postecoglou's squad in addition to the signing of 26-year-old centre-back Kevin Danso from Lens on Sunday and 21-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who arrived from Slavia Prague earlier in the January transfer window.
