Ange Postecoglou might finally get his wish. The Tottenham head coach has been crying out for new signings in the January transfer window for weeks, admitting his current squad "needs help".
But other than goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, no signings have been forthcoming. Spurs have regularly had more than eight first team players on the sidelines due to injuries, leading to many players having to play every minute of every game.
Signings should probably have been completed long before now, with Spurs stuttering in the Premier League - currently 15th in the table - but they may well make at least one signing before the window shuts on Monday, February 3.
According to reports in France, Spurs have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich to sign Mathys Tel. The 19-year-old is the subject of plenty of interest from the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester United also interested.
However, l'Equipe report that Spurs have stolen a march on their rivals by agreeing a €60million (£50.2million) fee for the young forward. The report suggests Tel has been offered a four-and-a-half year contract at Tottenham and must now make a decision on a move to north London. More offers are expected to come in for the teenager.
Tel was initially deemed not for sale during the winter window, with Chelsea making initial inquiries over the frontman. The Blues had made an inquiry last summer too.
However, the plaer's stance has changed in recent weeks, proabbly due to a lack of game time under Vincent Kompany at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich technical director Max Eberl said: "We spoke in December, and Mathys said he wanted to assert himself. Now he has said he would like to leave. Now we have to consider whether we will do it and what we will do.
"Loan or permanent? We will assess all the options. I've rarely had so many clubs call me about a player before."
