Even if Tottenham paid huge rent, it would have failed to recruit Matistel.

Tottenham said on its official website on the 4th (Korea Standard Time) "France's U21 flagship striker Matistel will join on loan until the end of the 2024-2025 season. The contract included an option to be fully recruited during the summer transfer market, and his number is 11", he said, announcing the news of Tel's loan signing. The contract, which was discussed as a simple rental contract, reportedly includes an optional transfer option of 55 million euros (about 82.5 billion won).

Tottenham stepped up to reinforce their offense in the transfer market this winter. Recruitment of strikers was essential as Wilson O'Dober, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and Timo Werner were out due to injuries.

Tottenham's first candidate was Bayern's prospect Tel. It was also mentioned as a talent comparable to French seniors Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema. Tel, who has fast speed, dribbles, and shooting skills, has attracted attention by moving to Bayern since he played an active role in Stadren in 2022. Since joining the team, he has grown steadily, receiving the opportunity to play. However, since Thomas Tuchel took office last season, his growth has slowed, given him a clear few opportunities.

As growth slowed, this season was still not guaranteed time to play. In the end, Tel was listed as a candidate for a loan transfer, and Tottenham actively moved to recruit Tel. British media also said Tottenham had already agreed to transfer to Tel for 50 million pounds (about 90 billion won) and that Tottenham had already agreed to transfer to Bayern for Tel.

However, Tel refused to transfer to Tottenham. British Metro says Bayern Munich striker Matisse Tell refuses to move to Tottenham. Tottenham and Bayern reached an agreement, but the player did not want to go to Tottenham.

Tel later considered the possibility of a transfer to Manchester United and Arsenal. However, Bayern failed to reach an agreement with the two teams. Just before the end of the transfer market, Tottenham accepted a loan to take a new opportunity. Immediately, reports from leading reporters poured in. David Onstein, a reporter from The Athletic, a global sports media outlet with the highest public confidence in the transfer market, said 'Tel moved to London to move from Bayern Munich to Tottenham at the deadline of the transfer market' and Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, will also transfer to Tottenham on loan. It's a simple rental format. There is no full transfer option. Bayern Munich accepted Tel's transfer decision. The agent, Gadiri Kamara, also left for London. An agreement has been reached between the clubs.'"

Since then, Tottenham announced the rental news and the recruitment was made. It was a necessary recruitment for Tottenham. Tel's addition has added depth to the attack. Tel is a resource that has consistently been recognized for its potential despite its sluggish performance this season. Tottenham will also be able to strengthen its determination to win by bringing Tel ahead of the important schedule of the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool. It can relieve the burden of the offense that Son Heung-min had increased.

However, Tottenham had to invest a lot to recruit Tel. Germany's Bild reveals new facts about the loan of 'Tell to Tottenham. Reveal all the details of the Tel transaction and how much Bayern received. Tottenham will pay up to 10 million euros (about 15 billion won) in Tel's rent. Tel's weekly pay is also covered in full. The summer purchase option is 60 million euros (about 90 billion won). However, the transfer option clause is included as a clause that can only be activated if Tel himself agrees to a transfer to Tottenham, and the loan transfer has been made.'

Fortunately, Tel is expected to have a high possibility of a complete transfer. Postecoglou said "He's going to be a Tottenham player. I think we'll prove this in six months. I didn't bring him in for six months"Tell will not just return to Bayern after six months," he said.

In this situation, if Tottenham hesitated, even Tel could have been taken away. England's Tribuna said on the 6th that 'Chelsea had not given up on recruiting Tel on the closing day of the transfer window'Chelsea contacted Tel's agent after signing João Felix's loan. But by this time, Tel had already been waiting for a flight to head to Tottenham, and had been informed that the approach had been late.' If Chelsea had made contact a little faster, Tottenham would have failed to reinforce the offense itself.

Tel's Tottenham debut, which joined Tottenham after many twists and turns, is likely to be the second leg of the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup semifinal against Liverpool at 5 a.m. on the 7th at Anfield, Liverpool. Teller immediately faces a stage where he proves his value. Attention is also focusing on whether the value of Tottenham's investment will come out in one game.
