Mathys Tel is eager to leave Bayern Munich, having spent too much time on the bench behind Harry Kane. Chelsea, alongside Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester United, are vying for his signature, but Tel wants assurances of regular first-team football before committing to a move. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca sees Tel as a versatile option, capable of playing off the left or centrally, which could place pressure on Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Pedro Neto for starting spots. Tottenham have intensified their pursuit over the last 24 hours, offering strong competition, while Manchester United are reluctant to commit to a permanent deal, hoping for an initial loan move. Bayern prefer a permanent transfer, with Chelsea and Spurs actively exploring a structure that includes an option or obligation to buy. With Arsenal prioritising Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, Chelsea and Tottenham currently have the edge in the race for Tel. The coming days will be crucial in determining where the talented Frenchman lands before the transfer deadline.
