Tottenham Hotspur are enduring a difficult season, currently languishing in 16th place in the Premier League and already eliminated from both domestic cup competitions. However, the club’s ongoing Europa League run provides a glimmer of hope and a chance to salvage what has otherwise been a forgettable campaign.
One of the few bright spots has been Bayern Munich loanee Mathys Tel, whose standout performances have caught the attention of both the Spurs board and the dressing room. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on GIVEMESPORT’s ‘Market Madness’ podcast, Tel has already convinced key figures at the club of his immense potential. His energy, versatility, and maturity beyond his years have made him a player to watch, potentially earning him a longer stay in North London beyond this season.
Mathys Tel arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in a last-minute move from Bayern Munich on the January transfer deadline day, with a loan-to-buy clause included in the deal. While the French forward initially endured a slow start to life in North London, he has steadily begun to find his rhythm and make an impact. His recent performances have not only impressed fans and teammates but also caught the eye of manager Ange Postecoglou.
Postecoglou has previously hinted that Tel could remain at the club beyond the current season, suggesting that the youngster may play a role in Spurs’ long-term plans. If his upward trajectory continues, activating the buy option could be seen as a smart move to inject youth and dynamism into Tottenham’s attack.
Spurs pleased with Tel’s progress, but European qualification could shape his future
If Tottenham Hotspur manage to reach the Europa League final and lift the trophy, they would remarkably secure Champions League qualification for next season, an unexpected twist in an otherwise turbulent campaign. While Fabrizio Romano revealed that the club are pleased with Mathys Tel’s development and performances, the final decision regarding his future may ultimately rest with the player himself.
Should Spurs fail to qualify for any European competition, the lack of continental football could weigh heavily in Tel’s decision-making. The young French forward, highly rated across Europe, may seek a more ambitious project or a return to Bayern Munich if Tottenham cannot offer the platform he needs to continue his rise. As it stands, much of his long-term future in North London hinges on how the season ends.
The Journo speaking about Tel’s future clarified the situation
“They are very happy with Mathys Tel, in terms of attitude, in terms of qualities, in terms of potential.”
“I think it’s going to take some time before all of them make a decision on this. But I can confirm to you that Tottenham are quite happy with the player, and are also convinced that he has huge potential, as they were when they decided to sign him.”
The club is expected to explore the possibility of renegotiating terms with Bayern Munich at the end of the season, but any permanent move will not be solely dictated by Spurs.
Tel himself will have a major say in his future, especially with several key variables still unresolved, such as the uncertain managerial situation at the club, whether Ange Postecoglou remains in charge, and most crucially, whether Champions League football can be secured. With Spurs currently preparing for a Europa League semi-final, the coming weeks will be decisive.

While Mathys Tel’s development at Tottenham has been undeniably promising, his long-term future may ultimately depend on the club’s trajectory in the coming weeks. Should Spurs secure Champions League qualification, whether through their Europa League campaign or a late surge in the Premier League—the allure of top-tier European football could prove pivotal. For a rising star like Tel, the chance to compete on the biggest stage may be enough to convince him to commit to North London and continue his upward journey at Spurs.
