Tottenham Hotspur supporters reckon the club are hinting that they’re about to make their second summer signing after Kevin Danso.
Tottenham signed Danso permanently for £21 million in what is likely to be one of their best value deals of the whole summer transfer window. There is a belief at Spurs that Danso could start next season if Cristian Romero leaves.
Currently, any further business is being delayed due to the manager’s situation, with a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future expected to arrive this week.
But with that said, there is now a belief among Spurs fans that their second summer signing is not far off following the club’s latest social media posts.
Tottenham fans think the club will sign Mathys Tel permanently
Tottenham fans believe that the club are hinting that Mathys Tel’s move from Bayern Munich will eventually be made permanent.
It’s worth noting that Tel’s loan at Tottenham continues until June 30, so technically, he is still a Spurs player, but supporters think this is a good indicator that they’re going to make the move permanent.
Tel impressed for France’s Under-21 as he came off the bench to help them win 2-1 against Uzbekistan, whilst teammate Wilson Odobert managed to get on the scoresheet.
Should Spurs sack Postecoglou, there is a feeling that Tel could explode under Thomas Frank, who is the current favourite for the job.
Tottenham have held talks with Frank about replacing the Australian manager, and there is a fear at Brentford that he could leave, TBR Football has revealed.
One fan claimed: “Basically confirming that Tel is staying and will get platformed properly by Frank.”
Another added: “Think this is a good indicator that we’ll make Tel permanent. Before you say anything. Yes, I realise that his loan is until June 30.”
There were further suggestions about what the post meant for Tel’s future: “Tottenham socials are all making great efforts to reference and promote Mathys Tel, it seems he’s definitely staying.”
Finally, another supporter added: “The fact we’re still sharing Tel as one of our own gives me goosebumps… Please, may he just sign on a permanent deal.”
Tottenham are working on Mathys Tel deal
TBR Football understands that Tottenham are working to sign Tel permanently, with the North London club having been delighted with the Frenchman’s application in the capital. The Lilywhites are keen to reduce their £50m option to buy him down to around £33.5m.
Meanwhile, the player himself is keen to make the move having settled nicely into life in London and with Champions League football now on offer next season.
The 20-year-old didn’t quite perform as he would have liked following his loan move in January, but it’s clear that he is a very talented player.
