Tottenham are set to rival Chelsea and a number of clubs across Europe in the race to sign for Mathys Tel after he pushed for a transfer away from Bayern Munich, sources have told ESPN.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are among those interested in Tel, with Manchester United also said to be in the race for the 19-year-old Bayern Munich forward. Bayern have confirmed Tel wants to leave and he appeared to wave goodbye to Bayern fans after their Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday.

Chelsea are in active conversations over the signing of Mathys Tel and TEAMtalk can reveal the Blues have moved quickly to allay the striker’s biggest fear. Tel, 19, has the green light to leave Bayern Munich in the final days of the winter window.
