Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been full of praise for the role Ange Postecoglou played in getting the Mathys Tel deal over the line.
Tottenham signed Tel on loan with an option to buy for around £45 million following the player’s dramatic deadline day U-turn.
Tel initially rejected Spurs following an agreement with Bayern Munich for £50m but his mind seemed to change following an exchange with Postecoglou.
Spurs fans have now been full of praise for their manager who helped the North London club to land one of their top targets.
How Ange Postecoglou convinced Mathys Tel to sign for Tottenham
Postecoglou played a role in convincing Tel to join having held extensive talks with the forward on the final day of the window.
Daniel Levy flew to Munich for talks with Tel, however, the player told him that he was not convinced of the project sold to him by the North London club.
But when moves to Arsenal and Manchester United failed to materialise, Postecoglou stepped in and presented him with a project which changed his mind.
Tel has also revealed Harry Kane’s glowing review of Tottenham with the former Spurs striker telling him about the amazing facilities and people the club has.
Tottenham fans left impressed by Ange Postecoglou after Mathys Tel deal
Tottenham fans were left super impressed by Postecoglou’s ability to convince Tel to sign for them after initial concerns.
James Maddison was another player Postecoglou convinced to join along with helping Lucas Bergvall to pick Spurs over Barcelona and Radu Dragusin turn down Bayern Munich.
Following the arrival of the Frenchman on deadline day, Spurs supporters took to X to praise their manager’s role in making the deal happen.
One fan said: “Conversations need to be had about Ange Postecoglou. How has he convinced Mathys Tel to sign a six-year contract after he flat-out rejected Spurs?”
“Whatever we all think of Ange, the facts are that the players are 100 percent fighting and backing him and he still has a big pull for talent such as Tel in convincing them to come to Spurs. That says a lot,” added another.
There was yet more praise: “I’ve been highly critical of Ange on occasions, but he really stepped up to convince Tel when the chuckle brothers Lange and Levy couldn’t. Fair play boss.”
“I’d pay good money to listen in on Ange’s convo with Tel that convinced him to join us,” claimed another supporter.
