Tottenham Hotspur will be in the market to do some transfer business before the January window slams shut.
Brennan Johnson has already joined Crystal Palace and with Mohammed Kudus now injured until April, some creativity is required in Thomas Frank’s squad.
Spurs are languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table, and with participation in the FA Cup coming to an end on Saturday, a trophyless season looks likely for 2025/26.
It does appear as though some more players could leave the club before the transfer window closes, however, with another of Frank’s players now linked with the exit door.
Tottenham forward Mathys Tel wanted by Paris FC
According to the Daily Mail, Paris FC and a host of Bundesliga clubs are now trying to land Tel before the transfer window closes next month.
The 20-year-old has scored three goals in 14 Premier League appearances this season, but he’s not really been able to hold down a regular place in Frank’s team.
Tel has started just five games in the Premier League and has showcased that he’s capable of playing anywhere across the front three.
Ultimately, Tottenham will perhaps feel that they need better players in their squad capable of scoring more goals, and perhaps Tel will depart this month.

Harry Kane praised Tel previously, suggesting he was a ‘great guy, really hard-working and full of potential’, having played with him at Bayern Munich.
Spurs should seriously consider Tel sale
Although Spurs originally signed Tel as a player with bags of potential and the future in mind but he’s failed to really nail down a place in the team.
Spurs have to start signing tried and tested options and given how the last two seasons in the Premier League have panned out, future potential needs to go out of the window a little bit.
Fill in the blank: During January, Tottenham should _____________ Mathys Tel…
Would you send Mathys Tel on loan or keep him at Tottenham?
West Ham star Lucas Paqueta has been linked with Tottenham and if Spurs can sell Tel to fund that type of addition, it would be ideal for the squad and the rest of the season.
Tel hasn’t been awful since coming to Tottenham, but he’s not exactly shown that he’s capable of scoring goals on a consistent basis and letting him leave could prove ideal.
