Mathys Tel delivers update on training scare and reveals the Tottenham player he learns from

Mathys Tel admits he is spending all the time he can learning from Son Heung-min and believes that it's time to write his own story at Tottenham.
Spurs spent £30million to sign the 20-year-old permanently from Bayern Munich after a loan spell in north London during the second half of last season. It was a tough introduction to Premier League life for Tel as he was thrown into the team during an injury crisis and had to lead the line up front in such a fast and physical competition despite having spent much of his young career as a winger.
He managed five goal involvements in 20 appearances in all competitions and put in some important displays in the knockout stages of Tottenham's Europa League-winning run.
Thomas Frank wanted to work with the France U21 international and gave the green light to a permanent move this summer from the Bavarian giants.
There was a scare though on Tuesday out in Hong Kong during an open training session in front of 10,000 Spurs fans at the Kai Tak Stadium. The Frenchman had embarked on a few surging runs during an 11-vs-11 training match and then while on one of those dribbles he picked up a sore looking knock, seemingly to his knee.
That injury drew real concern from the group as all of the players and staff gathered around the 20-year-old in a circle as he lay on the floor and it took some time before he got up, heavily limping.
Thankfully Tel appeared to run it off and later told football.london "I'm fine" when asked about the collision as he looked down at his leg.
Other than scaring everyone during training, the former Bayern man has been soaking up everything he can learn from a certain player during the sessions.
"I’m talking all the time with Sonny. He has more experience than me. I just want to learn and make sure that I become better every day. He helps me every day," he said. "Sonny is a legend. Everybody knows him. I’m very happy to work with him."
The Frenchman then explained just how excited he is to have made his permanent move to Tottenham.
"I’m very happy about it. It is a big club. It’s time to write this story at a club like this. I’m very happy to be here and try to have more success with the club," he said.
"It was a project [I had in mind when I first joined]. I just had six months here and my time was great. Those first six months with Tottenham helped me on and off the pitch. I appreciated my time so that’s why I wanted to stay and I’m very happy."
Tel arrived back later into the pre-season work under Frank this month, having been given time off after the European U21 Championships semi-finals with France alongside Spurs team-mate Wilson Odobert, while another Tottenham team-mate Archie Gray won the competition with England. On his return, Tel's conversations with his new head coach are yet to include whether he will play out on the left or through the middle under the Dane.
"I don’t talk about position. Just the main thing is collective, every player is important. We will see what happens. I just need to be ready and prepare myself to play," he said.
"This pre-season is about intensity, mentality and physicality too. This season we belong. We have a lot of big games, Champions League, Premier League and the cups. We need to be ready in the head and physically."
So what are Tel's personal and team ambitions this season?
"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’s a big club. Every competition we play in we will play with a lot of energy and we will prepare for the game."
Spurs return to the Champions League this season and the young Frenchman believes the club should be in the competition every season.
"I played two years ago [in the Champions League] and last year again. It’s a big competition. I think it’s the best competition in Europe and the world. When you play this competition, you need to be ready and make sure that you just go far in this competition," he said.
"We want to play every year in the Champions League. Like I said, we are a big club. We can play in this competition."
