Harry Kane believes Mathys Tel can get Spurs fans buzzing as the forward makes his stay at Tottenham permanent after joining from Bayern this summer. Tel spent time with Spurs on loan before Bayern decided to sell him outright, and he now faces a fresh challenge in the Premier League.
Kane, who found the net against his old club as Bayern Munich beat Tottenham 4-0 in a preseason Friendly, spoke warmly about Tel’s potential. “He’s got great potential. Whether he’s playing as a left winger or a striker, he gets into dangerous areas, he can finish the ball well, and he’s good one-v-one. I don’t want to put too much pressure on him – he’s going to the Premier League, he’s still extremely young although he has a lot of experience here, he still has to develop and improve, he knows that and he works hard to do that, so I just want him to go and enjoy himself, have confidence and hopefully he can shine in the Premier League.”
Spurs manager Thomas Frank, speaking about Tel’s permanent move, said: “Very, very excited about Mathys signing with a permanent deal. I think he’s a very talented player who can play across the front four positions. He’s a goalscorer that we can develop even further to be more consistent in his all-round game but also to more consistently land in the right positions in the box. So I’m looking forward to it.”
What this means for Spurs: Tel’s pace, versatility and goal-scoring instincts give Tottenham more attacking options and the potential for a dynamic front line as he adapts to life in the Premier League. Kane’s endorsement adds an extra layer of optimism around Tel’s development and readiness to contribute.
Summary: Kane praises Tel as a bright future option for Spurs, Tel’s permanent move to the club is viewed positively, and Spurs’ coaching staff express strong confidence in his ability to adapt and flourish in England’s top division.
Additional value: Tel’s success will likely depend on his integration into Spurs’ system and his ability to translate Bayern’s development into Premier League performance. Fans should watch early-season appearances for the telltale signs of his progression, including link-up play, movement off the ball, and finishing in tight spaces.
Positive spin: If Tel continues to grow, Spurs could have a versatile forward who can impact games in multiple ways, easing scoring responsibilities across the frontline and adding depth for coach’s tactical flexibility.
