Harry Kane, the captain of the England national team and a striker for Bayern Munich, has given some advice to his young teammate Mathys Tel. Tel has been receiving a lot of interest from big Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, but Kane believes that he needs to carefully consider his next move.
Initially, it seemed like Tel would be joining Tottenham Hotspur after they agreed on a £50 million deal with Bayern. However, the 19-year-old decided to reject their offer, leaving the door open for Manchester United and Arsenal to swoop in before the transfer window closes on Monday night. Tel, who joined Bayern in 2022 for over £20 million, has struggled to get enough playing time under manager Vincent Kompany this season and is now looking for a more prominent role at another club.
Despite his limited minutes, Kane has praised Tel's potential and believes that he can continue to improve over the next few years. However, the England captain emphasizes the importance of playing time for Tel's development, regardless of which club he ends up at.
Following Bayern's 4-3 win over Holstein Kiel on Saturday, in which Kane scored twice, the striker spoke highly of Tel to reporters. He commended Tel for his hard work and dedication in training and believes that he has the right mindset to improve even further.
Kane's comments come after Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, revealed that Tel had expressed his desire to leave the club during a Champions League match on Wednesday. Eberl stated that Tel was not satisfied with his playing time and that the club would consider his request.
Tel's potential move to Manchester United would certainly be a boost for the struggling club, who have been lacking goals this season. Meanwhile, Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta is also looking to add to his attacking options before the transfer deadline. The London club recently made a bid for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, but their offer was rejected.
In the end, Tel's decision will have to be made soon, as the transfer window is coming to a close. Whatever he chooses, the most important thing for him is to get enough playing time and experience to continue his development as a player.
