Mathys Tel was the story of the January transfer window, with the Bayern Munich wonderkid the subject of a thrilling transfer race between several Premier League giants. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United were all interested in signing the 19-year-old after he decided to leave Munich in pursuit of more regular game time.

Former Spurs striker Harry Kane, who has been a team-mate of Tel's at Bayern over the last 18 months, believes the talented youngster can flourish during his time in north London. "It's a great move for both parties. Mathys is a great guy and really hardworking," Kane told Spurs' official club website.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou denies reports that Mathys Tel initially rejected the club before his deadline day move to north London.
