The football doesn’t stop for Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert who have gone away on international duty with France’s Under-21 team.
The Tottenham Hotspur duo both produced impressive performances for their national team’s U21 side, with Odobert even getting on the scoresheet.
Both French youngsters showed a great deal of potential at Spurs last season, however, they often found themselves in and out of the team under Ange Postecoglou.
But following another solid showing for France Under-21, Spurs supporters are in agreement over what should happen to the pair next season.
Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert impress for France’s Under-21
Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert both came off the bench for France’s Under-21 team and impressed in a 2-1 win over Uzbekistan.
It wasn’t the toughest of opposition for the French youth side, however, the Tottenham Hotspur duo made light work of the team in front of them.
The pair combined nicely on several occasions, and some quality link-up between the front line, which involved Odobert and Tel, saw the latter find the back of the net.
Odobert made just 12 starts for Tottenham last season, while Tel managed 13 starts after arriving on loan from Bayern Munich in January.
Tottenham fans are now hopeful that both attackers will get more opportunities to feature next season following their impressive displays for France.
One fan said: “I feel like Odobert and Tel just didn’t get the chance to see enough because they played in those B teams. Both looked good, but I want to see them when games matter more.”
Another added: “Understand the level of opponent isn’t great, but my word, Odobert is going to be a baller in the right environment.”
Speaking about Tel and Odobert’s relationship: “Even in the poor B team vs Forest and Villa you could see it, they work off each other really well.”
“Odobert, like many others, has been a victim of playing in a B unit (the one that played in the Premier League) that was a complete disaster.”
Mathys Tel looks sharp in France Under-21 training
France released footage of Tel looking very sharp in front of goal during the Under-21’s training session as he continues to show much promise.
TBR Football understands that Tottenham are working to sign Tel permanently, having been so impressed with the Frenchman behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old is also keen to make the switch, having become well settled in London and Champions League football on offer at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
