Mathys Tel is on the verge of completing a full transfer to Tottenham, with Thomas Frank keen to keep him on board.

That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, who reports that Tottenham and Bayern Munich are closing in on a permanent agreement for the 20-year-old.

He reports that Tottenham and Bayern are currently holding advanced negotiations over the loanee, whose initial loan deal at Spurs is set to expire at the end of the month.

Tottenham will reportedly pay a €35 fixed fee for the Frenchman, having already paid a €10m loan fee to sign him in the January transfer window. Tel will sign a long-term deal at Spurs.

The whole move is expected to go through and is now in the final stages. It has been approved by new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, who has reportedly made it clear that he wants to keep him.

Whether Tottenham would pay a fee for Tel this summer had been part of a big debate in Germany, with his loan spell in London seen as very hit and miss.

The feeling had been that they would negotiate down after initially agreeing to a €60m clause and it seems that is what has finally happened.
