The skills revealed so far do not meet expectations, but they seem to have at least the ability to grasp personality and atmosphere. Tottenham Hotspur's next-generation offensive ace prospect Matistel (20) brought in in the transfer market in January mentioned Son Heung-min (33), who built the club's legendary record with his team mate who wants to be the closest. It seems that there was coaching from his former teammate Harry Kane.
British media Football London reported on Tel's adaptation to Tottenham on the 4th (Korea time) 'Tell, who joined Tottenham, explained the locker room situation in an interview with TNT Sports ahead of the Europa League round of 16' Through this interview, Tell gave honest answers about which player he sits next to in the locker room, who he wants to be close to, and who he wants to emulate technically.

Son Heung-min understands his achievements at Tottenham and his status in the team well, and it can be said that it is an answer that contains his desire to become a player after him.
Tell is a player barely recruited by Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou and club leaders, including chairman Daniel Levy, in the January transfer market.
Chairman Levy went to Germany himself to persuade him, and when it didn't work, coach Postecoglou called and explained in detail about future utilization plans, barely changing his mind at the end of the transfer market.
Tel, who initially refused to go to Tottenham, eventually accepted a loan transfer, including a full transfer option, after such efforts by Tottenham's leadership. At the end of this season, Tottenham will be able to completely recruit Tel by paying £45.7 million (about 84.8 billion won). Postecoglou wants to use Tell as the team's ace.
However, contrary to these expectations, Tel has yet to stand out since joining Tottenham.

Still, Postecoglou is showing his expectations for Tel. He is defending the sluggishness, saying it needs a period of adaptation. Tel is scheduled to play in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 against AZ Alkmaar at 2:45 a.m. on the 7th at AFAS Stadium in Alkmaar, Netherlands.
In an interview with TNT Sports, Tel, ahead of the away game, explained the team's adaptation. There was an authenticity that the 20-year-old player was trying to adapt well in the new team.

He then said in the locker room that he would sit next to Sergio Reguilon and Hicharlisong, not Wilson O'Doubert, his best friend when he was a member of the French youth team. Technically, he explained that he wanted to emulate James Maddison. Tell says "Madison is insanely good at his technique when he catches the ball every time. I want to emulate his calmness and skills in front of the ball."
