Mathys Tel ready to play three different positions for Tottenham
Mathys Tel has told Ange Postecoglou he is ready to play in three different positions for Tottenham this season.
The Frenchman claims he can play as a central striker and on either flank, but he is happy to go wherever Postecoglou wants him.
Tel told SPURSPLAY: “I can play in three positions, on the left side, right side and number nine. For me, my mentality is where the coach needs me, I’ll play.
“I just want to enjoy playing football and bring something for my team – so I can play anywhere no problem.”
Against Liverpool and Manchester United, Tel led the line for Spurs, whilst he started at left-wing in the 2-1 defeat away at Villa Park when he netted his first goal.
What Ange Postecoglou told Mathys Tel about wanting him at Tottenham
The French youth international revealed the details of the phone call he had with Postecoglou in which the Spurs boss explained why he wanted to bring him in from Bayern Munich.
The 59-year-old informed Tel that he felt it would bring some much-needed quality and energy to a depleted Spurs side.
“He told me, ‘Mathys, I think you can be a good player for the team, I think you can bring some new energy and something special – we need to win a lot of games this season’. This call was positive for me,” added Tel.
