As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are very much present in the race for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel. Apart from them, the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also trying to acquire the services of the youngster.
Who is Mathys Tel?
Mathys Tel came through Rennes Academy before moving to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022. Since then, he has been on an improving spree. He has shown some impressive displays and is expected to have a bright future ahead.
Tel has been used on the left wing and as a striker in the ongoing campaign so far. In 14 outings, he has managed to get only one goal contribution. He is averaging 1.7 shots, 0.2 key passes, and 0.7 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The French attacker is a versatile feature at any position in the attacking line. He likes to attack directly and is comfortable with both feet. He provides key passes, does effective dribbles, finishes chances and also marks an aerial presence.
Mathys Tel can be a good buy for the Gunners
The front line of Arsenal have been hit by several injuries and they need more firepower to be able to compete for titles this season. Hence, their interest in Mathys Tel is justified even though getting his signature won’t be easy.
Recent reports suggest that Tel has already rejected Tottenham Hotspur’s offer. It means that he has interest from the Gunners and Manchester United still in line. It remains to be seen if Mikel Arteta can convince him to sign for them or not.
Talking about the project, the 19-year-old is a talented player and his versatility will be well appreciated. He is likely to improve with more experience and proper guidance. His play of style and qualities will help him settle down in the Premier League pretty quickly.
