Matisse Tell (20) ambitiously recruited by Tottenham continues to remain in England.
The six-month lease is not the end. Manager Enze Postecoglou has declared Tell will remain Tottenham's player after the end of the season.
England's 'The Sun' reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Tell may not join Tottenham this summer. However, they already know Tel will stay at Tottenham and have agreed to a six-year deal, reports said.
Tel moved its nest from Germany's prestigious Bayern Munich to Tottenham on the 4th, the last day of the 2024-2025 winter transfer market. He left Kim Min-jae and became a teammate of Son Heung-min. The lease period is until this season, but the option of full recruitment is included.
They have agreed to a six-year contract beyond the option. The complete transfer fee agreed between Tottenham and Bayern, as revealed by The Sun, is 45 million pounds (about 81 billion won), not 50 million pounds (about 90 billion won) originally known.

Postecoglou confirmed at a press conference against Liverpool on the 5th that `Tell will be a Tottenham player.' He continued "I think I'll show everyone that I'm going to be a Tottenham player in the next six months. I didn't bring you here to use Tel for six months only."
Tottenham will play the second leg of the English Carabao Cup (League Cup) semifinals at 5 a.m. on the 7th at Anfield in Liverpool. Tottenham, which won 1-0 in the first round, dominated the advantage of advancing to the finals.
Tottenham aims to reach the top in 17 years after the 2007-2008 season. The last competition to lift the trophy was the League Cup. If they reach the final, the opponent has been decided. 'North London Rivals' avoided Arsenal. It's Newcastle United.
Newcastle won 2-0 in the second round of the Carabao Cup semifinals against Arsenal at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England on the 6th. Newcastle, which won 2-0 in the first leg away on the 8th of last month, won 4-0 in total in the first and second legs and came first to the finals.

Tel will make his Tottenham debut against Liverpool. Postecoglou said he would use center back Kevin Danso, who was also transfused with Tel. He said "Danso and Tel are both possible. They've trained, they've all registered to go to the game."
Especially for Tell, I think he has the right qualities to play as a "9," but he has also played successfully in the side. We're short of three wingers and strikers due to injuries and still people ignore the fact that nine, maybe 10 first-team players are missing from the starting lineup. So there's a tel that you can play on both the side and the center."
And "He's doing well, but he's just back from injury and needs to be careful. Son Heung-min is always playing, and 17-year-olds Mikey Moore and Dejan Kulusevski are also on the attack. Tel can play either way. I think he can play all three roles in the short term until he recovers the numbers."
Tel, who plays for Tottenham with No. 11, had a tug-of-war in the transfer process. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Arsenal jumped into Tel's recruitment race. Tottenham was the first. It agreed in principle to lease with Bayern. However, a personal agreement was not reached as Tel refused to transfer to Tottenham.

Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy flew to Germany, but failed to persuade him. He is said to have preferred the trend.
There was a big twist. Coach Postecoglou turned Tel around. After talking on the phone for a long time, I changed my mind. Coach Postecoglou explained in detail the club's projects and utilization plans.
He said "I was going to get tired of holding on to the phone for a long time. I fell asleep by the end of the dayAfter joking "I was connected there quite early on. I felt like I was listening to what he wanted to hear. It was a big decision"It's a pleasure.
Postecoglou also said, `Tell will be 100% happy at Tottenham,' adding, `This transfer is a huge luck for Tottenham. He's a really interesting player. He is young but physically already in a position to face huge challenges as a striker in the Bundesliga, and I think he can handle the Premier League as wellexpected "
He continued, "Tell is a player who can score goals, he can overwhelm his opponent, and he also has high speed. It would be really amazing if there was a club that wasn't interested in a player like him."

Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Bayern Tottenham native 'strongly recommend' Tell to go to England. Tell was the best option for me as to why he chose Tottenham. 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 "Kane and Dyer '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. Kane and Dyer also told me that."
Tel made his first-team debut at the age of 16, the youngest member of the club, in Stade Rennes, France, and was highly anticipated. Tel, who joined Bayern in July 2022, broke the club's record for the youngest score in a month.
However, there were not many opportunities behind Kane and others. He sought to escape Bavaria through the winter transfer market.
Tel has played in a total of 83 games in the last three seasons at Bayern, scoring 16 goals and eight assists. In 60 matches in the Bundesliga, he scored 12 goals and 6 assists, and in 16 matches in the European Champions League, he scored two goals and one assist. He scored two goals and one assist in six games for the DFB Pokal.
