Tottenham Hotspur have signed Mathys Tel on a permanent transfer from Bayern Munichthe Premier League club has announced.
Sources told ESPN that Spurs agreed a fee of €40 million ($46.2m), including bonuses with Bayern for the forward.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Spurs and was part of the team that ended the club’s 17-year trophy drought with success in the Europa League.
Tel scored two goals and registered one assist in 13 matches for the north London club.
The France under-21 international’s future was unclear after the coach who signed him at Spurs, Ange Postecoglou, was relieved of his duties 16 days after the Europa League final victory over Manchester United in Bilbao.
But Tel has become new boss Thomas Frank’s first signing since the former Brentford manager was named as Postecoglou’s successor.
Spurs have confirmed that he has signed a contract until 2031.
