Gary Neville is happy that Tottenham has completed a deal for Mathys Tel, despite the fact that Manchester United failed in their attempt to land the young star.
Spurs provided a deadline day transfer for the 19-year-old, who had previously been rejected in the window. Tel join the side of Ange Postecoglou until the end of the season, but have an option to sign the player for £ 45 million from Bayern Munich.
United saw their own attempts to collapse on Sunday, even though Old Trafford seemed to be the Frenchman's preferred destination. The requirements of Bayern were larger than United were willing to meet each other because at the end of the deal they asked for £ 5 million credit compensation without an option.
However, the LilyWhites could navigate an agreement. Neville, however, believes that Tottenham remains an attractive prospect.
“I think it is a huge draw Tottenham, not only for the stadium and the training field, but also the manager,” said Neville, who appeared on Sky Sports News on Deadline Day.
“The style of football, an exciting playing style they have and to play in that team, especially as an attacker, they do not currently get the right results. I am happy that count went there.
“Initially it was rumor that he rejected it, when he flirted with a few other clubs, but I am happy that Tottenham has him, and I am glad that ange Postecoglou has a player who will improve them.”
After he had not tempted count after their £ 50 million bid had been accepted last week, Tottenham changed their tact to make a straight loan offer, hoping that they could convince their new no. 11 to participate in the promise From more regular football.
Conversations with Postecoglou and the increasing happiness of Tel saw the option placed in the deal. It allowed a deal that all parties were satisfied with.
Max Eberl, board member of Bayern Munich for Sport brought a tribute to Tel after his exit. Eberl acknowledged his lack of minutes under Vincent Kompany.
“Mathys Tel came to Bayern as a very young player and continued to develop here at the highest level,” he said. “He didn't get the playing time he had wished lately, so came to us with the desire to desire something changed.
“In our conversations together we have now developed a setup that Mathys, Bayern and Tottenham Hotspur offers an excellent opportunity.”
