Tottenham Hotspur has officially signed forward Mathys Tel to a permanent contract extending until 2031, as announced by the Premier League club on Sunday.

Tel initially joined Spurs on loan from a Bundesliga club in February, with an agreement for a permanent transfer at the season’s conclusion. He made his debut as a substitute against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup and celebrated his first start with a goal against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. His inaugural Premier League goal was scored from the penalty spot during a 3-1 victory over Southampton in April. In total, he made 20 appearances across all competitions last season, netting 3 goals.

Currently, Mathys is representing France at the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, playing alongside fellow Spurs teammate Wilson Odobert.

“Mathys Tel arrived at FC Bayern as a very young talent and made significant progress at the elite levels of European football,” stated Bayern’s head of sport, Max Eberl. “He was well-liked among teammates and consistently gave his best for the club. Moving to Tottenham has proven beneficial for his growth.”

The 20-year-old originally joined Bayern Munich from Stade Rennes in 2022 on a four-year contract, which was later extended until 2029 in March of the previous year. He has scored 16 goals in 83 appearances for the German club but has struggled to secure a consistent starting position.

This transfer marks the first signing under new head coach Thomas Frank, who was appointed on Friday following Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal.
