Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has offered some valuable advice to his teammate Mathys Tel amid growing transfer speculation surrounding the young French forward. Tel, who appeared to bid farewell to Bayern during the week, has attracted significant interest from Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
Kane, speaking through journalist Julian Buhl, praised the 19-year-old's potential and work ethic, stating: "Mathys is a great young player. I've worked with him for 18 months. He has a lot of potential, works and trains hard. He can still improve, but he has the right mindset." The former Tottenham star emphasized the importance of playing time in Tel's next career move, advising: "My advice is wherever he goes, he should make sure he gets game time and experience."
The young forward's situation at Bayern Munich has been challenging, with limited playing opportunities largely due to Kane's prominent role in Vincent Kompany's squad. Despite the allure of a high-profile Premier League move, Tel has already turned down an approach from Tottenham, suggesting he's carefully considering his next steps in alignment with Kane's advice about securing regular playing time.
With the winter transfer window closing at 11pm on Monday night, Tel, who could command a fee of at least £50 million ($62m, €60m), is facing a time crunch to secure his departure from Bayern. Reports indicate that the player might be open to a loan move as an alternative solution, potentially offering him the regular playing time Kane suggests is crucial for his development.
