Tottenham are set to rival Chelsea and a number of clubs across Europe in the race to sign for Mathys Tel after he pushed for a transfer away from Bayern Munich, sources have told ESPN.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are among those interested in Tel, with Manchester United also said to be in the race for the 19-year-old Bayern Munich forward. Bayern have confirmed Tel wants to leave and he appeared to wave goodbye to Bayern fans after their Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all interested in a deal to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich in the January transfer window. Tel dropped a transfer bombshell on Tuesday – deciding that he wishes to leave Bayern this month – which has seen Arsenal and United join Chelsea in a dramatic late race to land his signature.
