Mathys Tel<\/a> insists Tottenham<\/a> was ‘the best option’ for him after joining the Premier League<\/a> club on loan from Bayern Munich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tel, 19, completed a deadline-day move to Spurs<\/a> after informing Bundesliga leaders Bayern of his desire to leave.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich spent more than \u00a320m to sign Tel from French club Rennes in 2022 and the highly-rated forward featured heavily across his first two seasons at the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n

However, France U21 star Tel pushed for a move during the January transfer window after struggling for game-time under Vincent Kompany.<\/p>\n

Tel reportedly rejected a move to Tottenham last week<\/a> and was subsequently in talks with Manchester United and Arsenal over a January move<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those talks broke down, however, and Tel then agreed a loan move to Tottenham<\/a> which includes an option to buy for \u00a345m in the summer.<\/p>\n

‘Why I chose Tottenham? It was the best option for me,’ he told the club’s official website<\/a>. ‘I\u2019m ready to play, I\u2019m here, I\u2019m ready to grow.<\/p>\n

‘It was the best option for me and now I\u2019m very happy. I felt the commitment, I spoke with the president, the team manager, the coach and as I said, that was very important for me.’<\/p>\n

Tel spoke to Bayern Munich teammates and former Tottenham stars Harry Kane and Eric Dier<\/a> before agreeing to join Spurs.<\/p>\n

‘They said, if you want to work here, you have everything. You can enjoy it,’ said Tel, who made just eight league appearances for Bayern this season.<\/p>\n

‘That\u2019s good for me, because it\u2019s a good opportunity to work, to learn every day… that\u2019s what they told me.’<\/p>\n

Tel also discussed the possibility of a move to north London with his ‘good friend’ Wilson Odobert, who signed for Spurs last summer.<\/p>\n

‘He told me “come, you have to come here”,’ Tel revealed. ‘Wilson, he\u2019s my friend, I\u2019ve played with him with the French team, and he said, “come, this is a great team, you will see”.<\/p>\n

‘We are good friends. I come from Paris, him too, and we have a good relationship.’<\/p>\n

Tel joins a Tottenham team sitting just 14th in the Premier League despite a much-needed victory over Brentford at the weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He could make his Spurs debut on Thursday night when Ange Postecoglou’s side face Liverpool in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Asked how it feels to be a Tottenham player, Tel said: ‘It\u2019s a new challenge for me, a new chapter to open.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m very excited to play with my new team-mates, for the fans, very excited. I\u2019m ready for every game. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here, to bring energy to the team. I\u2019m ready.<\/p>\n

‘I know what I have to do for Tottenham, for the team, for the fans. I know what I have to do, and I hope I am going to do it.’<\/p>\n

Tel leaves a Bayern Munich team sitting six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and preparing for a Champions League play-off clash with Scottish champions Celtic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
