Former Spurs striker Harry Kane, who has been a team-mate of Tel's at Bayern over the last 18 months, believes the talented youngster can flourish during his time in north London. "It's a great move for both parties. Mathys is a great guy and really hardworking," Kane told Spurs' official club website.

Ange Postecoglou has praised new signing Mathys Tel for not wanting to be "pushed in a certain direction" after the forward initially stalled over a move to Tottenham.

Mathys Tel says he’s good friends with Wilson Odobert, and that bodes well for Spurs should they play in the same attack. Odobert and Tel have actually played together on seven occasions in the past for France, and their record is quite remarkable. Tel and Odobert work really well together, as the stats show.
