The urgent side becomes a pushover…Burn 18 billion on a 5 month rental? Mystery of recruiting Mattis Tell
There was no free recruitment, no free rent.

The secret behind the recruitment of Tottenham freshman Matisse Tell (20) is emerging one after another. According to Germany's Sky Sports, Tottenham paid 10 million euros in rent to lease the French striker Tel from Bayern Munich for a half-season.

Initially, Tottenham was said to have succeeded in recruiting Tel through a simple lease, but a considerable amount of rent was revealed after the official announcement on the 3rd.




On top of that, we have agreed on the terms of paying 2 million euros in total salary for the lease period until June. The combined rent and salary is 12 million euros. Each month, a Tel costs 2.4 million euros.

Tottenham accepted Munich's request and reportedly included an option to purchase 60 million euros in the summer.

It is a glimpse of how much Tottenham struggled to complete this contract and how urgent it was at the end of the transfer market.

Tottenham searched for a striker through the last transfer market after a series of injuries to offensive resources such as key striker Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, and Wilson O'Dowbert.

Lee Kang-in's team, Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Colomouani, is known as Tottenham's No. 1 pick, but Colomouani chose to rent Juventus instead of Tottenham.

The next target I found in a hurry was France's Under-21 national team striker Tel. Tel has played 14 games in Munich this season and has not scored a single goal. He played just 458 minutes since the opening, behind Harry Kane. He was not a loanee with the highest sense of play and goal.




In addition, Tel, who have received interest from Manchester United and Arsenal, rejected Tottenham's offer until early February. Tottenham and Munich reached an agreement between the clubs, but failed to reach a final agreement due to Tel's refusal.

However, Tel changed his mind and headed to Tottenham after hearing an explanation of Tottenham's project and utilization plan through a long phone call with Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou.

Tel received the number 11, which was previously worn by Gary Lineker, Rafael Van der Waart, Gareth Bale and Eric Lamela.

"Tottenham Legends" Harry Kane (München) said of Tell's move in a conversation with a fan that "it's a good transfer for all parties. "Tell's a good player and a great hard worker."

"Tell needed to play consistently in order to burst his potential. It is also good for Tottenham to have a young and talented player join and score goals for the team and improve the team's performance."

Tel plans to make his EPL debut against Manchester United at home on the 17th. Tel, who plays both front-line and left-handed strikers, is expected to be at the forefront and work with left-handed striker Son Heung-min.
