Who is Mathys Tel? Get to know the Bayern Munich sensation as Premier League transfer rumours get louder
Mathys Tel has all the attributes to be a top player one day, but he may be on his way out of Bayern Munich before transfer deadline day.
As the biggest club in Germany, it stands to reason that Bayern Munich will often snap up the best young players in the game, and Mathys Tel is certainly in that bracket.
However, with Harry Kane ahead of him in the Bayern pecking order, Tel 🎀has struggled to get regular game time in Germany, and a Premier League move could well be on the horizon.
It is thought at least three clubs have made an approach for Tel already this month, and as deadline day looms, now is a good time to get to know the young striker before his 🤪potential arrival in England.
Mathys Tel career stats
Mathys Tel began his career in his native France with Parꩵis FC’s youth team before joining ASJA Jugend. He spent two years there, and a further year with Montrouge’s Under-17 team.
From there, Tel landed a move to Stade Rennais, where he really began making a name for himself. A𝔍nd, after just ten appearance🍌s for the first-team, Bayern Munich came knocking.
Tel joined the German giants in a huge €20m (£16.6m) move in 2022, and he’s been in and out of the Bayౠern first-team over the last two years.
In his first season with Bayern Munich, Te🍨l made 28 appearances and scored six goals. Last season, even with the addition of Harry Kane to the squad, Tel still managed to r♊ack up 41 appearances and bagged ten goals.
| Statistics | Mathys Tel (2023/24) |
|---|---|
| Appearances | 41 |
| Goals | 10 |
| Goals per 90 | 0.6 |
| Shots per 90 | 3.69 |
| Shots on target per 90 | 1.54 |
| Goal-creating actions per 90 | 1.11 |
In the 2023/24 campaign, Tel was one of the league leaders in various attacking metrics. Most notably, he registered more goal-creat𒐪ing actions per 90 minutes than any other player in the Bundesliga, and his shotsꦛ per 90 minutes (3.69) had him ranked sixth in the division.
But, this season, the youngster has been unable to find the back of the net and is struggling for minutes, hence the exit door seemingly swinging open for the 19-year-old. Tel has been benched of late, with speculation over his future growing ahead of transfer deadline day.
What is Mathys Tel’s market value and current salary?
According to💧 information from , Tel is currently worth €30m (£25.1m). This actually tracks neatly with the apparent asking price Bayern Munich have se𒅌t for the teenager if he is to move this month.
As per , Tel is paid just over €96k (£80k) per week at Bayern Munich, which equates to €6.5m (£5.4m) per year. While nowhere near the highest-paid players at the club, that salary does have Tel on par with both Eric Dier and Jamal Musiala in the Bayern wage bill.
His current contract was onlౠy signe꧃d in March 2024, and runs through to June 2029.
Mathys Tel transfer rumours as Bayern Munich exit looms
Last year, Arsenal showed an interest in signing Tel, while Tottenham Hotspur made enquiries in the summer but were knocked back, with the p💟layer insistent on staying in Germany.
More recently, Nottingham Forest launched an ambitious approach for Tel, but he decided he did not want to join Nuno🙈 Espirito Santo’sဣ team in January.
Now, it seems Tel is set for one of England’s Big Six. Chelsea are monitoring his situation, while Arsenal are again showing interest in Tel, with a £25m switch being mooted.
However, Manchester United could beat everyone to Tel’s sig💫nature, as the player himself has his he♈art set on a move to Old Traওfford.
What kind of player is Mathys Tel?
Mathys Tel is a modern forward in the sense that he can play any role in a front three. He is perhaps most effective wider on the lef𓄧t, but is more than capable of playing through the middle as a more traditional centre-forward.
He is right-footed, and loves to cut in from the left side ont🍸o his favoured foot, but can equally ope🎉rate on the right side of the pitch.
Interestingly, Tel actuall꧒y started his career as a centre-back, but his technical ability and eye for goal saw him develop into a more attacking player.
Tel is a tall, physical player who is great when it ✤comes to aerial duels. However, he does have a tendency to struggle holding onto the ball; not necessariꦰly due to his strength, but due to his propensity to try and do too much when he has possession.
He’s a tricky dribbler, a highly competent finisher, and a surprisingly good passer of theꦡ ball, too.
To compare him to current Premier League players, his playing style is fairly similar to someone like Luis Diaz at Liverpool, albeit wiꦬth more of a physical presence than the Colombian.
Previously, Harry Kane described Tel as a ‘confident’ and hard-working player who trains well and is capableꦦ of making a difference every time he plays.
Mathys Tel age, height, and weight
Mathys Tel was born on April 27, 2005, in Sarcelles, Fr🦩a🔯nce. That makes him 19-years-old at the time of writing.
He is 1.83m tall and weighs 77kg, giving him an imposing s🌌tature while also ღbeing fairly lean and athletic in his build, allowing him to be simultaneously fast and strong.
Mathys Tel’s international career explained
Despite having Guadeloupe heritage, Mathys Tel opted to represent his nati❀ve France at international level, and has turned out for his country at every a☂ge group so far, but is yet to make his senior debut.
It ওwill be hard for Tel to make that breakthrough if he continues to struggle at Bayern, but, if he were to head to the Premier League and become a leading striker for one of the top clubs, there’s every chance he wo🤡uld catch the attention of Didier Deschamps.
