Tottenham Hotspur officially completes the signing of Bayern Munich and Liverpool wonderkids Mathys Tel and Luca Furnell-Gill..


Tottenham Hotspur announced on its official website on Tuesday that the club has signed France U21s international forward wonderkid Mathys Tel and England U18s international defender wonderkid Luca Furnell-Gill from Bayern Munich and Liverpool respectively.


According to Spurs' official statement, Tel will play for the club on-loan until the end of this season, his loan fee is £5 million. The loan agreement includes a buyout clause of £50 million. He will also wear the No. 11 jersey which was vacated after former Wales legendary international forward Gareth Bale had left left the club; Furnell-Gill has signed on a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club which will run until the summer of 2028.


In addition, according to the news brought by Sky Sports' renowned Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, although there is a buyout clause, it will not be easy for Spurs to activate this clause, because the premise is that Tel must agree to be bought out before this clause can be activated.


Tel was also close to joining Manchester United on-loan, but the Red Devils refused to pay Tel's loan fee, so Spurs was able to successfully persuade Tel to join the club with the efforts of Chairman Daniel Levy.


After completing his joining procedures, Tel, who was interviewed by Tottenham Hotspur's official website for the first time, said: "Why did I choose Spurs? This is the best choice for me. I am ready to play, I am here, and I am ready to grow. This is the best choice for me and I am very happy now. I feel the commitment. I have talked to the Chairman, the team manager, and the coach. As I said, this is very important to me."
