"Harry Kane and Eric Dier have a lot to learn when they go to Tottenham...."
The strong advice of the 'Tottenham Man' was behind Matisse Tell's decision to go to Tottenham in 2005.
In an official interview with the Tottenham club on the 5th (Korea time), Tel revealed why he decided to go to Tottenham in a surprise situation where he was linked to big clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester United.
France's Under-21 international striker, Tel, wore a Bayern jersey for a transfer fee of more than £20m from Rennes in 2022. He impressed at Allianz Arena's home stadium for the first two years, but did not receive enough time to play under coach Vincent Kompany this season and played only eight league games. The forward and undervalued striker was one of the hottest sales in the January transfer market, drawing keen attention from big clubs. Tottenham, which has been sluggish in 14th place in the league amid the main players' line injuries, has also entered the recruitment war. Tel reportedly rejected Tottenham's offer last week, but on the last day of the transfer window, he dramatically boarded a jet to London and wore a Tottenham uniform. It is a loan deal with a transfer option of £45 million this summer.

Tell said "Why did you choose Tottenham? This was the best option for me," he replied immediately. "I'm here because I'm ready to run. I am ready to grow." "It was the best option for me. So I'm really happy now. I felt the sincerity. Talking to the chairman, the director, the coach, I felt authentic and that was the most important thing to me."
Ahead of the choice of a lifetime, Tel naturally also sought the advice of former Tottenham stars Harry Kane and Eric Dier. "'You'll have everything if you go there and run. You'll be able to enjoy it," he said. "I liked that part, too. Because it is a good opportunity to work and learn every day. Harry Kane and Eric Dier also told me that," he added.
Ahead of his trip to Tottenham, he also asked his best friend Wilson O'Doubert, a French national university colleague, about the atmosphere. "Odover is 'Wow! You have to come here. Wilson is a friend of mine and played with him in France. 'Make sure to come. It's a very good team. I'll know when I see it.'" We are good friends. I'm from Paris and he's the same. have had a very good relationship"He mentioned that his best friend's 'strong recommendation' also affected his trip to Tottenham.
Regarding how he felt about wearing a Tottenham uniform, Tell gave the meaning "It's a new challenge for me and opening a new chapter in my life" "I'm very excited to play for my new teammates and fans. Every race is ready. That's why I'm here. It will energize the team. I'm ready," he said, burning his will to play for the first time.
