Dominic Solanke has reacted to the news that Tottenham have signed Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on a permanent deal.
The France Under-21 international joined Spurs on loan from the Bundesliga giants in the winter transfer window, and scored three goals in 20 appearances for the North Londoners.
His most recent goal contribution for Tottenham came on 4 May, when he created an assist during a 1-1 draw with West Ham.
Tel has become Spurs’ first signing since the appointment of Thomas Frank from Brentford, and the former Bees boss will hope to see the 20-year-old succeed under his stewardship.

Football Insider verdict
Spurs will want more from Tel next season
Tel boasts plenty of potential and proved his attacking ability when he scored to help France to a dramatic 3-2 win over Georgia in the Under-21 Euros on Saturday, 14 June.
After the 20-year-old joined the North London club from Bayern on loan last season, Spurs may have held high expectations for the forward, who notched 10 goals and six assists during the 2023/24 campaign.
However, Tel only scored three goals in 20 appearances for Tottenham last term, as former boss Ange Postecoglou failed to get the best out of him.
Frank must look to get a better attacking output from the France Under-21 international next season, as the North Londoners will not want to regret buying the former Rennes man from Bayern.
As reported by Sky Sports [15 June], Spurs paid £29.8million for Tel, while Daniel Levy has already proven his willingness to back Frank in the transfer market.
