Ange Postecoglou played key role in changing Mathys Tel’s mind over Spurs move

Ange Postecoglou has reportedly played a key role in ensuring that Mathys Tel had a change of heart regarding Tottenham’s offer as the highly-rated forward gets set to complete a deadline-day switch to N17.

Spurs set for an exciting end to the transfer window

Until a few hours ago, it looked as if transfer deadline day was going to be an uneventful one from a Tottenham perspective, but things have changed dramatically since then.

It emerged not too long ago that Mathys Tel had had a change of heart and had greenlighted a late switch to Spurs, with Fabrizio Romano even giving his ‘here we go’ seal of approval to the transfer.

Some sources have suggested that although the Frenchman was on his way to Hotspur Way to complete a move, the structure of the agreement is still not clear, with the Lilywhites preferring a permanent deal rather than a straight loan.

Ange Postecoglou’s key role in convincing Mathys Tel

The Standard have now revealed that Postecoglou played an important role in convincing the Bayern attacker to change his mind after he had said no to Spurs just a few days ago.

The outlet says that the Tottenham head coach personally spoke to Tel and reassure him about the project that is currently underway at N17.

The report asserts that the France Under-21 international favours a straight loan switch to the Premier League club without a buy option.

The publication adds that the final details of the transfer are still yet to be ironed out between the two clubs and the player.

Mathys Tel is joining Tottenham Hotspur from Bayern

A number of the signings that Tottenham have made over the last 18 months have referred to their conversation with Postecoglou as the main reason why they were convicted about joining the club.

It looks like the Australian’s powers of persuasion have benefited Spurs again, with Tel now appearing to have had a change of heart.

It certainly is no easy feat to convince one of the most highly rated young attackers in the world to join a side who are languishing in 14th place in the table, which is why the North London club deserve major credit if they manage to get this transfer over the line.
