Mathys Tel has been linked with a move away from Tottenham during the January transfer window.
The 20-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities at the North London club, and he is unhappy right now. According to a report via SportWitness, the player is keen on leaving the club in January, and Roma would be prepared to provide him with an exit route.
There have been rumours of a potential attitude problem with Tel. The player was previously left out of the UEFA Champions League squad as well.
Spurs to let Mathys Tel leave?
Tottenham signed the player permanently for a fee of around €35 million at the start of the season, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to send him out on loan. Permanent exit seems unlikely right now.
He was a long-term signing for the club, and they rate him highly. They will hope that he can develop into a quality player for the club. Meanwhile, the French attacker needs more opportunities in order to continue his development. Perhaps a loan move to Italy could be ideal for him right now. There is no doubt that he has the physicality and technical attributes for Italian football.
Roma is a big club, and the opportunity to join them will be tempting for the young attacker.
Tel is highly rated
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has recently labelled him as a “super impressive” player because of his mentality and character. It remains to be seen whether the north London club can unlock his true potential and help him improve further.
Tel is a bright young player with a lot of room for improvement. Joining the right team could bring out the best in him. Regular football in Italy could prepare him for the upcoming season and help him force his way into the Tottenham starting lineup. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
