Tottenham Hotspur decided to make the move for Mathys Tel permanent during the summer transfer window.
The player was on loan at the North London club during the second half of last season. Although he did not make a significant impact at the English club, they rate him highly, and they have decided to sign him permanently.
The French attacker has now opened up on the challenge ahead of him, and he has revealed the message he received from former Tottenham star Harry Kane.
“Yes, I spoke to him beforehand,” he said via Sky Germany.
“He told me, if you need anything, send me a text, give me a call. I spoke to him; he’s a top guy. (Now it’s a) new challenge, I’m ready for my team, the clubs and also the fans.”
Can Mathys Tel deliver?
It will be interesting to see if the highly rated attacker can adapt to the Premier League in the upcoming season and establish himself as an important player for Tottenham. The North London club have shown great faith in his ability despite mediocre performances last season.
Tel will need to justify their transfer decision now. There is no doubt that he is a promising young talent with a bright future. He has the attributes to develop into a top-class player. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he could be an asset for the club.
Tottenham need attacking quality
Tottenham have looked toothless going forward at times, and they need to improve in the final third. It is no surprise that they have decided to invest in the talented young attacker. They will hope that he can justify the outlay in the upcoming campaign.
Thomas Frank has done well to bring out the best in his players at Brentford, and it remains to be seen whether he can unlock the true potential of the French attacker.
