Tottenham forward Mathys Tel is open to a loan in January in an attempt to make France's World Cup squad.
The 20-year-old made his loan move from Bayern Munich permanent in the summer for £30m but has since struggled under Thomas Frank.
Having been signed after an initial six-month spell under former manager Ange Postecoglou, Tel has started just five matches this season, scoring on three occasions.
Tel was also left out of Spurs' Champions League squad in September but was re-added to replace the injured Dominic Solanke in December.
It remains unclear whether Spurs will sanction a move having seen fellow attacker Brennan Johnson join Crystal Palace for £35m last week.
Tel has yet to make his debut for the national team but has 12 goals in 20 games in the Under-21s and recently became captain.
