Mathys Tel believes this Tottenham team can go all the way in Europe, with the young winger making bold claims about the club’s potential to lift multiple trophies this season.
Tottenham Hotspur are back with the big boys this season following their recent success in the Europa League, which saw them win the entire competition.
That very triumph has now seen Tottenham make a long-awaited return to the UEFA Champions League, having not featured since the 2022/23 season.
It would be a first-time experience for new manager Thomas Frank, who has not managed in the Champions League so far in his career, and would need several of his first-team players fit and firing if he is to find success in the competition this season.
Mathys Tel sets himself high targets at Tottenham this season
Mathys Tel could very much be a key player for Thomas Frank, who greenlit the winger’s move from Bayern Munich.
Speaking to football.london, the Tottenham wide forward has now made it clear that he has high expectations for himself this season, while also expressing belief in the club’s ability to compete across all fronts. He outlined his targets in simple terms – goals, assists and silverware.
“I just want a lot of goals and assists. If we can take every trophy,” he said. “For me, Tottenham can win everything. Like I said, it is a big club. Every competition we play in we will play with a lot of energy and we will prepare for the game.”
