James Maddison has welcomed Mathys Tel to Tottenham after he was confirmed as a new member of the club.

Spurs officially unveiled the 19-year-old on deadline day after they beat Man United to his signature on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Tel has made the move to London from Bayern Munich, with the Premier League side having the option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season for £45million.

The France Under-21 forward was highly in demand during the January transfer window, making the signing a real coupe for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Tel has made 83 appearances for Bayern Munich since joining the Bundesliga giants in 2022, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists.

The versatile forward is Tottenham’s third signing of the January transfer window, with the club also signing Kevin Danso and Antonin Kinsky.

Tel will provide a boost to an injury-plagued Tottenham team with Radu Dragusin, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Wilson Odobert, Cristian Romero, and Dominic Solanke all out of action at the moment.

Maddison took to Instagram to welcome his new teammate to the football club by saying, “Welcome brother!!!”

Spurs currently sit 14th in the Premier League table after winning only eight of their 24 games so far.

Tel will have the opportunity to make his debut for Tottenham on Thursday (6 February) when Spurs travel to Liverpool for the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

Spurs are currently boasting a 1-0 advantage over the Reds as they head to Anfield.
