Bayern Munich's Tel had rejected Spurs after they agreed a fee of €60 million (£50m) with the Bavarians, as the 19-year-old preferred a move elsewhere with Manchester United also interested. However, after the Red Devils decided to pull out of the race for the striker, Tel has now joined Ange Postecoglou's side in a loan deal until the end of the season. The transfer will include a purchase option set at €55million (£45.7m; $56.9m, according to The Athletic.
