Fulham officials debate Mathys Tel's performance and future
Mathys Tel has had a challenging start at Tottenham Hotspur after joining the club on loan from Bayern Munich. He signed with Spurs on the January transfer deadline day, but has not managed to score in the Premier League yet. His only goal for Tottenham came in an FA Cup match against Aston Villa in February. Recent comments from officials at Fulham shed light on Tel's performance. Following a 2-0 loss against Fulham, journalist Dan Kilpatrick reported that two Fulham officials were discussing Tel. One questioned whether the €60 million buy option for Tel was justified, while the other believed he showed potential and talent. Tel's adjustment to the Premier League has been tough. As a young player who joined a struggling team mid-season, he faces the pressure to perform quickly. Notably, he did not play in recent matches against Bournemouth and AZ Alkmaar. This lack of game time and his performance against Fulham suggests he is still finding his way in the league. Despite the concerns, Fabrizio Romano, a prominent journalist, shared that Tottenham's coach Ange Postecoglou and his staff remain optimistic about Tel. They view him as a talented player for the future. The coaching team is committed to helping him develop, and the senior players at Spurs are expected to support him in building his confidence.
